BS 2000

BS 2000 (also known as Beat Science 2000)[2] was an American rock and hip hop group formed by Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (member of Beastie Boys) and Amery "AWOL" Smith (drummer for Suicidal Tendencies and touring drummer for Beastie Boys) featuring Janay North.[2] Their music features short instrumentals fusing hip-hop, electronic effects, and low-fi video game music. Music on this album was inspired by French obscure band X-Ray pop.[4]
