The RBX Files is the debut album by American rapper RBX, released September 26, 1995, on Premeditated/Warner Bros. Records. It peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at number 62 on the Billboard 200.[1] The album was produced by Greg "Gregski" Royal.
Along with singles, music videos were released for two songs: "A.W.O.L."[2] and "Rough Is the Texture."[3]
Background
Following his guest appearances on The Chronic and Doggystyle, RBX was tagged to be Death Row’s next big star, but Dr. Dre and Suge Knight pushed back his debut, and he wound up leaving the label and putting out the album on Premeditated Records.[4]
Reception
Alex Henderson of AllMusic called it an "interesting, if uneven, debut", noting the "distinctive rapping style".[5] Option called it "subtly funky" with "expertly paced backing tracks".[6] Wesley K. Marshall of The Source magazine called RBX's style unorthodox, while praising the artist himself as "an unquestionably skillful lyricist". The critic described the instrumentals used on the album as "eerie, clashing rugged beats".[7]
