Here is a curated list of tracks featuring Biz Markie, on the eve of his passing. Most tracks are of decent quality. There are a few live original recodings that aren't quite up to snuff, but thought they were important, historically. I will continue adding more as I come across 'em.

Marcel Theo Hall, known professionally as Biz Markie, was an American rapper, singer-songwriter, DJ, and record producer. Markie was best known for his 1989 single "Just a Friend", which became a top 40 hit in several countries. 

Born: April 8, 1964, Harlem, New York, NY
Died: July 16, 2021, Baltimore, MD

Biz Markie - Just A Friend (Extra Medium Remix)

DJ Sheep: Biz Markie Megamix: 2011 Australian Tour Promo
Recorded Live: Friday 3rd June 2011

It's unfortunately timely that I'm re-sharing this mix. We truly lost a great one today, Biz Markie, the cornerstone of humour in hip-hop with his larger than life cartoon-ish personality and demeanour. The B-I-Z's discography, legacy and history in hip-hop ran deep and his crates and music knowledge ran even deeper. 

I feel extremely humbled & blessed in hindsight to have spent time with Biz Markie in Australia, having both shared the stage with him in Sydney as well as spending a couple of days hanging out in Brisbane together with his brother DJ Cool V. We did what Biz does best and hit Chinatown in Brisbane for Chinese food, went diggin' for records and vintage toys and nerded out for many hours sharing, disecting, politicin' and listening to raer breakbeats, grooves, raps, acapellas and stems. It's one of the very few times I was absolutely geeked out meeting one of my heroes. There's been too many times when I've learned  that my childhood rap heroes are actually jerks, even more-so with the advent of social media. There are too many hilarious stories to tell and memories of that tour which will have to wait for another time.

This short but sweet 14-minute promo "mega-mix" was done in one take on two decks and a mixer at the request of the promoter of the down under tour. I kept it simple and just blended 7 of my favourite Biz tracks. There's obviously some deeper diggin' to be done in Biz's extensive catalog and I'm sure there'll be some great tribute mixes forthcoming but I kept this one as is because it's from a time and a place that hopefully some others can appreciate.

Nobody Beats the Biz. Never. Rest in Peace and my most genuine condolences to his family and loved ones.

peace. DJ Sheep

omment mieux commencer ce vingtième épisode de l’African Hip-Hop du Grigri qu’avec un morceau réunissant les deux patrons du rap Made in Africa alias Kaligraph Jones et Sarkodie ! Une track qui démontrera à ceux qui osent encore en douter que ces deux rappeurs ont un flow à faire pâlir les meilleurs techniciens américains.

Le Ghana sera également à la fête : quand Pappy Kodjo s’entoure des meilleurs jeunes MC de la scène ghanéenne, E.L nous sort un dernier morceau très old school! Le prince du Sénégal Dip Doundou Guiss vous régalera avec son dernier morceau Musiba alors que le Nigérian Naira Marley rend hommage aux victimes du mouvement EndSars avec son nouveau morceau “Koleyewon”.

Vous pourrez également célébrer le retour de Nernos, le rappeur camerounais revient en force après une longue absence.

Au programme également, la crème de la scène égyptienne (Abo El Anwar, Abyusif, MousV), les dernières tendances gabonaises, soudanaises et marocaines!

Un voyage gratuit et écolo au cœur du meilleur de la musique urbaine alternative.
