From the Vaults: DJ Hurricane collaborates with The Roots’ Black Thought, The Beastie Boys’ Adrock

Rough-weather days like this always get me thinking about one of my favorite musical Hurricanes, the one that rocked the ones and twos for The Beastie Boys between 1987 and 1998. On this track from DJ Hurricane‘s 2000 full-length Don’t Sleep, we hear Black Thought from The Roots making a tremendous appearance on the second half of the song, nearly outshining The King Adrock who kicks off the funky jam with a lively verse of common Beasties-isms. Listen to “Kickin’ Wicked Rhymes” below.
