A.k.a. Henry Lee Robinson Budwyser & Darace The Product (7)
Wyser is a rapper from Hunters Point in San Francisco, California. Henry Robinson aka Budwyser (or Wyser) was born on June 17, 1967. Budwyser got his name in 1990 after a rapper by the name of The Millard from Sunnydale Bayview. The Millard was the main insperation in Budwyser's name and was rapping and representing for Hunters Point at the time. Budwyser was so inspired in the rapper that he had a nickname for him and would simply call him "Miller" (like the Miller Lite beer) and would later called himself "Budwyser" King of the Rappers (like the Budweiser beer). At the the time, Budwyser and The Millard were battle rapping and dissing each other as a friendly competition and would go back and forth at each other, freestyle after freestyle until eventually The Millard started to promote Budwyser at shows while still dissing him. From there the name Budwyser took off all over the Hunters Point section. In 1991, Budwyser started getting on the radio 106 KMEL FM with Evan Luck and was on "The Battles Of The Rappers" several times. Later that year, Budwyser released his very first E.P. entitled "Life As A Nigger" in which the E.P. was rediscovered years later on the internet and it's now considered an "Unknown Classic" and was featuring another Hunters Point native by the name of DarRace Branner. A very rare cassette tape and it is extremely difficult to find. At the time of the EP release, Budwyser and a childhood friend by the name of Christopher Matthews who is now known as Black C of the legendary group RBL Posse had bought studio equipment and beat machines at a local Pawn Shop. At the time, Black C was the DJ, Budwyser and other Hunters Point natives name T-Lowe and his brother Bay Bay were the rappers. In 1992, Budwyser, Bay Bay and DarRace started working on there first official album entitled "You Can't Fade Me" under the name "The Product". It's considered a "Frisco Classic" in the Bay Area. It has songs like "You Can't Fade Me", "Bitches & Cops" & "Darling, Darling Baby" in which became underground classics. The album features T-Lowe and Black C & Mr. Cee of RBL Posse. The album was produced by T.C. who would gone on to produces classic albums for Totally Insane, I.M.P., Cold World Hustlers, RBL Posse, Herm Lewis, S-I-C, A.T.C., T-Gunn, Dre Dog aka Andre Nickatina, Rappin' 4-Tay, 11/5, Guce, just to name a few. Both projects "Life As A Nigger" and "You Can't Fade Me" are now extremely difficult to find and it's now collectable items. Budwyser took a 20 year break but he is now back in the studio and ready for a cameback on a new album called "Haters Come & Go" for the summer 2016 under the name "Wyser".
