Honestly, Joey Valence teaming up with Braeden Lugue, more popularly known as Brae, is precisely what any modern-day Beastie Boy fan needed. The longtime multi-genre producer, vocalist, and DJ's partnership with the electrifying emcee are single-handedly bringing back and modernizing the traditional hip-hop sounds of the '80s and '90s in a way that's never been done before and still honors its roots. What began as two college kids goofing around in their bedroom studio has become a palpable phenomenon, with their music reaching millions worldwide.
