Rapper ‘Biz Markie’ dies aged 57
 

Biz Markie, the innovative yet proudly goofy rapper, D.J. and producer whose self-deprecating lyrics and off-key wail on songs like “Just a Friend” earned him the nickname Clown Prince of Hip-Hop, died on Friday. He was 57.

His death was confirmed by his manager, Jenni Izumi, who did not specify the cause or say where he died.

So sad RIP :love:. I saw Rockstar post the news on their Instagram earlier and was devastated. I remember his track ‘Vapours’ on GTA San Andreas and it was where I first heard of him as well as many other old school rappers.

Sad news.

RIP
