To The 5 Boroughs

To the 5 Boroughs is the sixth studio album by the American hip-hop group Beastie Boys, released on June 14, 2004, internationally, and a day later in the United States. It sold 360,000 copies in its first week of release, becoming the group's third consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over 1,000,000 copies in the U.S. The album is the first major Beastie Boys release since 1998's Hello Nasty, and it reflects on the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on New York City. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album at the 47th Grammy Awards, losing to Kanye West's The College Dropout.
