Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying his title as the legendary 'Clown Prince of Hip Hop', Biz Markie produced this entire album himself alongside his cousin Cool V. The record perfectly captures his wildly unpredictable, humorous delivery and innovative human beatboxing over rugged, breakbeat-heavy sampling. Propelled by the universally beloved crossover hit 'Just a Friend', it remains an incredibly charming pillar of golden era rap.
