Unless you think about it consciously, there are influences of various kinds within every style of music. You might not realize that something that seems so iconic itself, like Hip-Hop, has been influenced by styles of music that are very different from it. At the same time, Hip-Hop's influence into styles that are different from it is very apparent too. In diving into this subject and tasting for ourselves the power of the cross-influence, we also look at the music and influence of the late Adam Youch of The Beastie Boys as both a performer and a producer.
