Beastie Boys
THE BEASTIE BOYS have not let the leak of their new album online get them down and have streamed an explicit version online.
A bootlegged recording of the trio's upcoming Hot Sauce Committee Part Two emerged on the internet last week - two weeks before its official release date next month.
But the rappers have now counteracted the leak by allowing fans to hear the "dirty nasty version" of all 16 tracks.
A statement on their official website reads, "Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the 'clean' version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked.
"So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony."
