Listen "Mike D's five songs from the five boroughs"
Episode Synopsis
Can you remember when Ill Communication first came out? If you came of age in the 90’s like me, it was a huge album. Bursting outta the gates with 'Sure Shot', with hits like 'Get it Together' and 'Sabotage'... it’s one of Beastie Boys most varied and loved albums, and in 2024 it turns 30 years old.The sound of this album is as fresh as it was in 1994, and to mark this big anniversary I dug into the archives to dust off one of my favourite conversations of all time. The one and only Mike D. Take a trip around New York City with a fella who knows it better than most.Notorious B.I.G. - 'Juicy'The Strokes - '12:51'Nas - 'N.Y. State of Mind'ESG - 'Moody'Wu Tang Clan - 'C.R.E.A.M.'This episode was originally broadcast on triple j in 2014.
