“My rhymes age like wine as I get older,” raps Mike D, 45, on the brand new Beastie Boys track he posted to the iconic hip-hop trio’s official site this afternoon. “I’m getting bolder, competition is waning.” As said rhymes and the single’s title, “Make Some Noise,” boast, MCA, Ad-Rock, and Mike D are aiming to reclaim the spotlight in the uber-competitive genre; a goal this tight, analog-crunchy cut proves is well within their means. The full LP, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, is due out May 3 — complete with guest performances by Nas (his collaboration can be heard here) and Santigold. In the meantime, get ready and “Make Some Noise” here or below:
