Biz Markie is an East Coast hip hop artist best known for humorous singles like “Just a Friend” and “Pickin’ Boogers.” He has been labeled The Clown Prince of Hip-Hop. His career began in the 1980s.

In 1992, Biz recorded a song called “Alone Again,” but Gilbert O’Sullivan claimed the track featured an unauthorized sample of his hit “Alone Again (Naturally),” and served Biz papers. His career was quite damaged from the lawsuit, and Biz ducked out of the harshest glare of the limelight for the remainder of the 1990s. He did do a bit of work with Len, Will Smith and the Beastie Boys. He had a part in Men In Black II as well. During this time he developed his DJ skills. He could scratch using his prodigious stomach.

In 2003, Biz began recording again. And in 2005, Biz appeared on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, and won. In 2008, Biz can currently be seen on the popular children’s’ show “Yo Gabba Gabba” performing various beat box segments.
