Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" cover

Contrary to popular belief, summer is NOT over. You may have attended some end-of-summer functions over this long weekend but you have until September 21st to wrap up your summer shenanigans. But before you head out to get into whatever it is you planned on gettin into on this glorious Labor Day holiday, make sure you got these mixtapes in your arsenal.  DJ's Food, Cheeba and Moneyshot of the Solid Steel Radio crew whip up an amazing tribute to the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique LP, DJ Spinna goes through the catalog of José James, and Mister Cee pays his respects to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

DJ Cheeba, DJ Moneyshot & DJ Food "Caught In The Middle of A 3-Way"

Three years ago Solid Steel Radio DJs Cheeba, Moneyshot and Food conceptualized this tribute to the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique album. The mix was halfway done when the trio received the news of the passing of Adam "MCA" Yauch.  Comprised of samples used by the Beasties on the album, interviews, demos, and other bits of aural treats, Caught In The Middle of A 3-Way is one of the best mixes you'll hear all year.
