--- title: Biz Markie and Earth Day 2010 description:

Considering that hip hop has been global for a minute. And Earth Day, which is arguably by definition, global. Aaaand, you take Biz Markie who is about as global as it gets with credentials like beatboxer, rapper, Juice Crew member and A3C alum - some would say Repower America + Biz + Earth Day was only a matter of time. It'll all make WAY more sense if you keep reading.

And *Earth Day*, which is arguably by definition, global. Aaaand, you take **Biz Markie** who is about as global as it gets with credentials like beatboxer, rapper,** Juice Crew** member and [A3C](https://www.a3cfestival.com/) alum - some would say [**Repower America**](http://www.repoweramerica.org) + Biz + Earth Day was only a matter of time. It'll all make WAY more sense if you keep reading. To cap off what has widely become *Earth Week* (Earth Day is annually held on April 22nd), RePower America joined forces with Biz Markie to remake his classic joint, *Just a Friend*. With a little tweaking from the Diabolical himself and some help from the likes of **Amber Lee Etinger** (Obama Girl) and **DJ Mike Relm**, Biz helps to spread the message of clean energy and Earth Day's 40th anniversary.
