The Bestie Boys are big on celebrating anniversaries. 

Just one month after remaining Beastie Boys Michael Diamond (Mike D) and Adam Horovitz (King Ad-Rock) released a mini-documentary commemorating the 25th anniversary of their fourth studio album, 1994’s Ill Communication, the group announced they have new music for their fans in celebration of the 15th anniversary of their To the 5 Boroughs album. 

The group is celebrating with the release of 12 new tracks — the 12 rarities are part of the album’s digital deluxe edition. 

The news was announced by the group on social media writing, “Hello, everybody — To the 5 Boroughs came out 15 years ago today. For the occasion, twelve rare tracks have just been released digitally in addition to the original 15 songs on the album.”

Among the track featured are a handful of B-sides and rarities, as well as remixes by Just Blaze, Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, and more.
