For a brief three years in the 90s, Brooklynite Christopher Wallace-also known as the Notorious B.I.G. and Biggie Smalls-burst onto the hip hop scene, bringing raw, gritty lyrics combined with a bravado and bouncy flow that, when combined with producer Sean âPuff Daddyâ Combs panache and pop sensibilities, created a musical tour de force that would near-universally bestow Biggie with the crown of New York. Sadly that reign would be shortened by the bloody coastal feud that consumed the hip hop world at the time.
Celebrating the once king of New York and forever beloved standard-bearer of Bed-Stuy is Budweiser, in partnership with the Christopher Wallace estate. The King of Beers has released a limited-edition tallboy featuring Biggie and his Brooklyn roots.
