A new NYC exhibit, “The Biz Markie Experience,” showcases over 50 artifacts capturing his iconic vibe, and his beats keep echoing through hits like “Just A Friend” and fresh samples by Wu-Tang, Nas, The Rolling Stones, and more. Plus, his Harlem-based foundation continues his mission of uplifting communities — proof that his influence? Still dropping like a classic boom-bap.
