After the death of Adam Yoke (Adam “MCA” Yauch) in 2012, fans started a campaign to rename the intersection in the band’s honor. Last July, the initiative finally received approval from the New York City Council.
Yoke had founded the band with Mike Diamond and Adam Horowitz. The Beastie Boys, of Jewish descent from Brooklyn, New York, managed to establish themselves in a musical genre dominated by African-American artists.
