# Beastie Boys Sign Deal To Publish Memoir

The remaining members of influential hip hop group, The Beastie Boys, Mike D and Ad-Rock, have reportedly signed a deal for the release of upcoming memoir.

According to a report from the [*New York Times*](http://adf.ly/O42uk), the book will be released through Spiegel & Grau, the same publishing house that released Jay-Z’s *Decoded*.

Ad-Rock, Mike D, along with the late MCA, released eight studio albums, the latest being 2011’s *Hot Sauce Committee Part Two*. The result will reportedly be released in 2015.

The Beastie Boys are “interested in challenging the form and making the book a multidimensional experience,” publisher Julie Grau told the *Times*. “There is a kaleidoscopic frame of reference, and it asks a reader to keep up.”

Talks for the book were already underway before the passing of Adam Yauch, from cancer complications in 2012.
