Reissue of this classic hip hop album from playful and mischievous lyricist Biz Markie! Originally released on the infamous Cold Chilin label back in 1989.

The Biz Never Sleeps. More than just a classic in the old school hip-hop pantheon, The Biz Never Sleeps is Biz Markie’s biggest success as a rapper. A certified Gold album, it peaked at #66 on the Billboard 200 charts, and #9 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop charts in 1989. Features Markie’s famous hit “Just A Friend”,

The Biz Never Sleeps is considered a standard among golden age hip-hop music, and is a definite must- have for any fan of the genre. Released for the first time ever in an extended format this issue comes housed in a handsome 6 panel digipak and features never before seen photography from original Cold Chillin’ art director and photographer George DuBose as well as 12” versions and remixes of the hit singles “Spring Again” and of course “Just A Friend,” all perviously never available on CD format.
