Adam Youch was one of the three white rappers that made up the “Beastie Boys” ,He went by the stage name of MCA.The rap rocker was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 after discovering a tumor in his salivary gland.

Youch was unable to join the group as they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and his treatments delayed the release of the groups most recent album “Hot Sauce Committe, pt 2”.

Our prayers go out to his family and loved ones,Beastie Boys were a ground breaking group that helped propel Hip Hop into the mainstream.
