RBX to me is one of the Unsung heroes of hip hop. He may haven’t been considered the most complex lyricist but his darth vader style delivery is both bone chilling and commanding. When listening to “The Chronic” “Doggystyle” and “RBX Files” he found ways of channeling his voice to blend with that era of G-Funk. He would later release independent albums here and there but he needed a sound that would compliment him and this is where Sccit and Siavash come in.
These guys Sccit & Siavash The Grouch have built quite a beefy resume’ within the West Coast rap scene. Working with Fatlip from The Pharcyde and many legends throughout the left coast. The energy they wanted to create for this album was “What would RBX’s Death Row Records album sound like?” You can tell from the intro, the radio style skits, and the flow ranging between dark and funky that this was the energy they wanted to create and they excelled at it.
Then they wanted to give RBX a great supporting casts. You have legends such as MCEiht, Ras Kass, Project Pat, Cold187um, Krayzie Bone on board and they serve their purpose. Krayzie Bone straight annailated “Nightstalker” and Project Pat brought that dark M-Town energy to “Picnic Caskets” respectfully. The album also carries that funky vibe on “Hibernation” “The Shivers” “Midnight Drive” and “A Billi”
Overall this is definitely one of the best projects to have been released in 2024. This album did justice in reintroducing RBX to another generation of listeners and pairing him up with the right emcees to complement him and as well as sonically.
