Died Biz Markie, songwriter Vapors

On Friday, the 80s and 90s MCs, the “pioneer of hip-hop” and “one of the most comical representatives of the genre” Biz Markie, did not become famous in the 80s and 90s. The cause of death of the 57-year-old performer is said to be complications from diabetes. Last year he already had a heart attack during a diabetic coma.

Music was not Biz’s only occupation – he was engaged in voice acting and even starred in the movie “Men in Black 2” (a scene with a beat-box at the post office). And one of his hits, Vapors, you’ve probably heard on the waves Playback FM in GTA: San Andreas
