      His best work is RBX Files in my opinion. The album didnt make much noise because he wasnt doing the typical gangster rap, which was popular at that time. it basically consists of creative mcing and beat picking and ist pretty dope. RBX spit some crazy shit on there. He definitly has supreme wordplay and creativity compared to your average westcoast rapper. Plus a unique delivery
