To celebrate Biz Markie's 50th birthday, his hit single 'Just a Friend' turning 25 and how he lost 140 pounds while drinking his favorite soda (Zevia Cherry Cola), Shepard Fairey's Studio Number One designed a limited-edition Biz can, complete with his face and Twitter handle included.

They revealed the design at a recent Health Expo, where Biz spun for the crowd and met with fans.

The soda company has not announced plans for any further cans but a double-wide 'Baby Got Back' tribute seems obvious as does one devoted to Hammer's 'Too Legit to Quit." Of course, the opportunities for a Vanilla Ice tie-in are too numerous to mention as are the possible opportunities to work with Ice-T and Ice Cube.
