Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, sent a heartfelt letter to the widow of the late Biz Markie, honoring the trailblazing rapper's life.
A portion of the letter said, “Biz Markie brightened every room he was in, and we will always appreciate him for his early support in 2008, bringing people together to 'Party With a Purpose' and get out the vote.”
Biz Markie died on July 16 due to complications from diabetes.
