The Hip Hop community mourns the loss of the beatboxing legend Biz Markie. He reportedly died peacefully on Friday, July 16, 2021. The family had been asking for prayers while he was hospitalized in prior months.
ripbizmarkie He’s Just A Friend who definitely caught the Vapors while making music with your mouth BIZ! REST IN POWER @officialbizmarkie
Thank you @officialbizmarkie for Adding legendary music that makes us all wonder if he/she’s just a friend, an unmatched style of DJing that takes us through track after track in seconds, the music you make with your mouth, and the joy you gave to the kids as you gave the beat of the day…#YoGabbaGabba
Your wife, close family, and friends will feel your loss as they will miss your daily presence. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY
From his earliest gig as #RoxanneShante #beatboxer to a headliner at the #GrammyAwards after-parties, he’s done it all.
As the news hit, I saw social media posts showing their love for Biz Markie.
Walt Reeder, Jr. posted, “This one Hurts! RIP MY FRIEND, MY BRO Biz Markie! You will Truly Be Missed!! #NOBODYBEATSTHEBIZ One Time For My Bro Biz Markie R.I.P. my Dude! You will Be Missed and Never Forgotten! LOVE YOU, BRO!! #NobodyBeatsTheBiz ”
Throughout the years, Biz Markie made several stops in Philly. Please see the snapshot from a ’90s event that I captured of Biz Markie and DJ Spinderella.
