Listen to Mike D’s New Song “What We Got”

The Story

Less than a month after dropping his debut solo single, Mike D is already back with a new song. The Beastie Boy recorded “What We Got” during the same sessions as “Switch Up,” and was joined in the studio by producer Carter Lang as well as Mike’s sons, Davis and Skyler Diamond. Listen below.

The last Beastie Boys music to date remains their 2011 album Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, and Mike D hasn’t performed with the group since the death of Adam “MCA” Yauch the following year. Tonight (May 22) and tomorrow, he’ll be playing shows at Xanadu Roller Arts in Brooklyn.
