Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch Memorial Billboard
Shepard Fairey & Glen. E. Friedman have collaborated to produce a Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch Memorial Billboard. It can be seen on Sunset Blvd just east of Highland.
It comes about 2 weeks after 12ozProphet artist Kaves continued to memorialise the late Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch of The Beastie Boys by creating a massive memorial billboard in Los Angeles as well. The billboard quotes a famous MCA lyric about respecting women and portrays the Beastie Boys around a classic 1980’s style boombox.
You might be familiar with Kaves’ work without even knowing it if your a true Beastie Boys fan. MCA hired him to do the cover artwork for their dvd release for their single Intergalactic. Kaves has said about MCA that “He was a stand up human being and will always be Brooklyn Royalty.”R.I.P MCA

Rest In Peace MCA
Adam Yauch better known as MCA from Beastie Boys has sadly lost his battle with lymph-node cancer and passed away at 47. MCA revealed he was fighting cancer in 2009 and the band stopped touring and postponed the release of their last album, Hot Sauce Committee.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month but Yauch, who had endured surgery and radiotherapy, was too ill to attend. MCA, Mike D and Ad-Rock formed the Beastie Boys in 1979.
R.I.P MCA – a true pioneer!
