Biz Markie
Marcel Theo Hall, known professionally as Biz Markie, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, DJ, and record producer who gained prominence during hip hop's golden age. Within hip hop he was particularly recognized for his humorous, comedic style, often being called by his nickname, the "Clown Prince of Hip Hop". Markie's achieved mainstream success with his 1989 single "Just a Friend", which reached No. 9 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and became a platinum-certified hit. The song has since been widely regarded as a classic, featured prominently in pop culture and recognized on VH1's list of the greatest hip-hop songs. Throughout his career, Markie was associated with influential hip-hop groups and labels, notably the Juice Crew collective and Cold Chillin' Records. Beyond his music, Biz Markie had an extensive presence on television and film, appearing in various roles and voiceovers in popular shows, movies, and commercials, including Men in Black II, Yo Gabba Gabba!, Empire, and SpongeBob SquarePants. He also appeared as himself in numerous television and radio broadcasts, and became a cultural personality extending beyond the music industry. From Wikipedia (
