Description

Licensed To Ill is the Beastie Boys’ genre-smashing debut — a riotous fusion of hip hop, punk attitude, and rock riffs that became the first rap album to top the Billboard 200. This remastered 180g heavyweight vinyl edition is housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring the iconic jet-crash artwork and includes a printed inner sleeve. Cut from the original production masters, the pressing delivers punchy low-end and crisp highs, ideal for the album’s sample-heavy sound and rebellious energy.

Produced by Rick Rubin and recorded at Chung King Studios, the album features legendary tracks like “Fight For Your Right,” “No Sleep Till Brooklyn,” “Paul Revere,” and “Brass Monkey.” With its irreverent lyrics, distorted guitars, and turntable trickery, Licensed To Ill redefined hip hop’s boundaries and remains a cornerstone of ’80s pop culture.
