Beastie Boys Featured on 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' Soundtrack

If you've been waiting for the new Guardians of the Galaxy to drop and you're a fan of Beastie Boys, you're in for a doubly special treat — the new installment drops this May, and Beasties are featured on the soundtrack.

Their classic "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" will appear on the soundtrack which features a slew of other classics including Radiohead's "Creep" and Bruce Springsteen's “Badlands" among others.

On March 7, 1987, Licensed to Ill became the first Hip-Hop album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The project also features classics like "Paul Revere," Brass Monkey," and "Fight for Your Right," and is the result of a decade of music and friendship — the trio first came together in NYC in the late 70s. The album stayed on top of the chart for seven straight weeks and is certified diamond.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hits theaters May 3.
