What

When Biz Markie arrived @ Crotona Park yesterday, they brought along a surprise that would not be unveiled until a few hours later. Not many people knew what it was, except that it was housed in a closed Odyssey case sitting on a nondescript table in the back. One of the people from his crew assured me that its contents would knock people’s socks off. When it was Biz’s time to rock, he busted it out in front of the packed crowd. Naturally, everyone in attendance (fans and artists alike) went crazy. And less than 24 hours later, it seems like the whole world followed suit…

A picture is worth a thousand words, so rather than babble about what I saw up close and personal, there’s the picture above taken by Jorge Popmaster Fabel, and the back story.
