It's official: The hiatus is back off again! Capitol will release Beastie Boys' To The 5 Boroughs, the band's sixth album (and first produced entirely by the Boys themselves) this summer.

Recorded on and off over the last two years at Beastie Boys' own studio in downtown new York City, produced by the band and mixed by Supa Engineer Duro, To The 5 Boroughs is the first proper Beastie Boys record since 1998's quadruple-platinum Hello Nasty. Nasty sold nearly 700,000 week of release in the U.S. and entered at the top of virtually every chart in every country in the world.

To The 5 Boroughs is, in keeping with its title, in large part homage to the city that brought Mike D, Adrock and MCA together. From the block-party rockers "Ch-Check It Out" and "Triple Trouble," to the politically charged "Time To Build," and straight-up tribute "An Open Letter To NYC," the record conjures the early '80s New York underground B Boys came up in-but keeps one foot firmly in the future throughout, especially on the unclassifiable "Oh Word?" and "Crawlspace."

To The 5 Boroughs' release will be preceded by "Ch-Check It Out" debuting April 28 at radio and on iTunes. The "Ch-Check It Out" video was recently directed by longtime Beastie Boys collaborator Nathanial Hornblower ("Intergalactic," "Body Movin'," "So What'cha Want"), and features exclusive cameos from Lorne Greene and DeForest "Bones" Kelley.

Beastie Boys will be playing Japan's Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo August 7 and 8. Full world tour plans to be announced shortly.
