Licensed To Ill is an LP by Beastie Boys from 1987 released on the CBS, Def Jam Recordings label.
About this album
Licensed to Ill made the Beastie Boys one of hip-hop’s most unlikely crossover success stories, turning bratty humour and hard-edged beats into a defining late-1980s statement. Released in 1986 and produced by Rick Rubin, the album fused rap with rock attitude at a moment when Def Jam was helping push the genre into the mainstream. Driven by landmark singles such as Fight for Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn, it became a huge commercial hit and helped open the door for rap on rock radio and MTV. Its mix of parody, swagger and sharp sampling remains central to the group’s legacy.
Genre: Hip Hop & RnB
