Background

[edit]

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]

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".[7] 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".[6]
