BANGING.......2007-04-15

This cd is banging from beginning to start, I wish Greg Royal would have produced more albums for RBX or other Westcoast artists.

Pick it up if you have the chance, tracks like AWOL, The Edge and so on makes you wanna kick someones face in!

X - Files.......2005-08-11

After being heard on Dr. Dre's The Chronic, it was clear that RBX would be the next rapper / emcee from Long Beach to blow. After leaving Death Row, RBX released a strong debut entitled, The RBX Files. "A.W.O.L." tells his story of being on Death Row and the reason for leaving as he takes his trademark with him, "...I drop bombs like Hiroshima..." He gives it up to his native city with the bass-heavy, West Coast beat of "Slip Into Long Beach". The Narrator proves his skills throughout, but "Rough Is The Texture" displays X's mentality as a playful killer. "Feathers In The Wind" is the most up-beat song featured with a saxaphone over a bass guitar. Rec Dialec & E' D' Ameng featured on "Tundra" without RBX. With a reggae feel of "Mom's Are Cryin'" he give tales of growing up and how mothers feel about activities of their children. Into his religion of being Muslim, titles like "Akebulan" featuring Ganja K and "Fightin' The Devil" he displays his positions on society as well as on the interludes. All of the production is held down by Greg Royal with the exception of three that were produced by Dave Fogg. RBX showed how he lyrically gang-bang as a ghostwriter for Dr. Dre and this album proves it.

A lost gem.......2004-02-06

RBX made his debut in 1992 on 'The Chronic', and pretty much stole the show with his eerie, gruff & detached voice, powerful lyrics and unique style. To put him in the same category as limited emcees with small vocabularies like Snoop or Dre etc is an insult.

RBX is the best west coast lyricist since King Tee. RBX was too mature for the childish gang warfare at Death Row and left to record a solo album, for Premediatted Records in 1995. Beats come courtesy Greg Royal, one of the guys who mixed 'The Chronic'. This album islike no other you have ever heard. RBXs lyrics are inventive and powerful, he flexes a wide array of different styles & flows, and the beats are dusty, dark and hard hitting. If your lookin for mindless G-funk and raps about sunny days, cars and smoking indo you are going to be disappointed. This album is just as good as any classic New York hip hop album i can name.

Few emcees can stand up to X and he really rips the mic. The whole album has a dark, brooding atmosphere and X talks at length about street violence and impending armageddon. This is a true lost classic and doesn't deserved to be grouped in with the simple emcees in the Death Row family tree. I would recommend you seek out this gem because you wont hear a more dark, tripped out and enganging album, outside of NYC 88-95.

Rbx Files.......2003-03-10

This album was one of many taking aim at the West Coast's powerhouse record company known as "Death Row" I initially heard Rbx on Dr. Dre's the "Chronic". He appeared on the posse cut "Lyrical Gangbang" as well as a few other tracks. His solo project presented more of the same gangsta inspired rhymes already witnessed on Dre's "The Chronic" but with a much deeper twist that I hadn't expected. Rbx's lyrical talent was already evident on Dre's solo project but he took it to another level on his solo debut. The track production is tight yet innovative (check out "Feathers in the Wind"). He refers to many topics throughout the album such as the coming of armmagedeon, peelin' busta's caps, his negative dealings with Death Row and the upliftment of the black mind state. The album shows Rbx's complex dilemma of being caught between his muslim pursuit of righteousness but having to deal with the ruthlessness of the streets. In a strange way it makes sense. It is a really good album if you are a fan of good west coast music. It is hard to find though.
