Comprised of Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch, and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz, the Beastie Boys began as a hardcore punk band before transitioning to hip hop, blending genres and breaking boundaries with their unique sound. Their career spanned over two decades, earning them two Grammy Awards, the MTV Video Vanguard Lifetime Achievement Award, and four number-one albums, with a total of 40 million records sold worldwide.
