Erasing Boundaries

Hip hop ain’t easy. Yet, Biz Markie has seen it all, and is still standing. This in and of itself is remarkable. That he continues to surprise audiences and create new directions is astounding.

And I don’t want to go poor.” Hear the conversation in full on this week’s Erasing Boundaries.
