Biz Markie: Goin’ Off 3LP

Deluxe, remastered triple vinyl reissue of Biz Markie’s Goin’ Off, complete with bonus remixes, original 12″ versions, demo versions, and instrumentals. Biz released the album in an era of Boogie Down Beef and “hard” MCs. With hit tracks like “Pickin’ Boogers,” “Making Music With Your Mouth Biz,” “Vapors,” and “Biz Is Goin’ Off,” he quickly out-shined many fellow rappers – his playful, down to earth steez triumphed over tough talk. Not to mention he killed the beat box genre with “Making Music…” (wish I could do that). This special edition is for the real-deal collectors and hip hop fanatics. A lot of the added material is ultra-rare (where else are you going to get the “Nobody Beats” demo version?) and unique. A perfect twist to your next mixtape or show…
