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.
