Showtime Networks’ “ALL UP IN THE BIZ" stands as a poignant tribute to the late rapper Biz Markie, affectionately known as the "Clown Prince of Hip Hop." The documentary, directed by Sacha Jenkins, unearths the remarkable journey of this beatbox virtuoso, celebrated for his humorous rhymes and offbeat persona, with his chart-topping hit "Just a Friend" as the cornerstone of his legacy. The film masterfully weaves together an array of elements, including never-before-seen footage, animation, puppet reenactments, and interviews with key figures in the hip-hop scene, from Fat Joe to Nick Cannon, providing an intimate look into the highs and lows of Biz Markie's life.
