Biz Markie’s Life Story Is Being Told In A New Documentary
Two years ago this month, Hip-Hop lost a legend in Biz Markie, who succumbed to a longtime bout with type 2 diabetes. The New York artist born Marcel Hall was a famed MC, DJ, producer, actor, and avid collector of artifacts from the culture. A member of the Juice Crew (as well as the Flip Squad DJs), Biz represented a 35-plus-year career with ties to Big Daddy Kane, Beastie Boys, De La Soul, Roxanne Shanté, Redman, and more.
Biz’s life and times is the subject of a new documentary directed by Hip-Hop journalist-turned-filmmaker Sacha Jenkins. All Up In The Biz: The Life And Rhymes Of Biz Markie has a new trailer that unveils what to expect from the August 11 film.
