Beastie Boys

On June 15, 2004, the Beastie Boys performed "Ch-Check It Out" from their album "To the 5 Boroughs" on the Late Show with David Letterman. This performance marked a significant moment in their career as it was during the album's promotional period, following its release just a month earlier in May 2004. "To the 5 Boroughs" showcased the group's return to their hip-hop roots, a notable shift from their previous album, "Hello Nasty," which leaned more into experimental sounds. The performance exemplified the Beastie Boys' signature style and playful energy, further solidifying their impact in the hip-hop community. Additionally, their appearance on a major television platform like Letterman highlighted their continued relevance in the music industry after over two decades since their debut, illustrating their enduring appeal and connection to New York City culture.
