No rhymes, no hype — just groove. Released in 1996, The In Sound from Way Out! showcases the Beastie Boys in full instrumental flight, stitching together the deep-fried funk and laid-back soul that pulsed beneath Check Your Head and Ill Communication.
 
Named after a 1966 Perrey & Kingsley LP of the same title, the record dives into head-nodding jams and warm, analog textures — proof that behind the attitude and samples lay some seriously tight musicianship. Think breakbeat jazz, psychedelic lounge, and old-school hip-hop swagger rolled into one seamless, stoned-in-the-studio session.
 
It’s the Beasties at their most chilled and playful — a crate-digger’s delight and the perfect soundtrack to, well, everything.
