It’s always refreshing to hear certain MC’s return with a solid album without trying to sound like the flavor of the month. Iconic MC/West Coast Legend RBX returns with a no skips sure shot “Hibernation Shivers“. A signature voice we all first heard and grew to know in the iconic debut releases of “The Chronic” and “Doggystyle“; RBX returns with his signature flow and elite bars as “The Narrator“. Remaining lyrically solid beyond evident in this latest while laced with production from An array of sounds ranging from G-Funk, Soulful to Down South vibes reminiscent of Early Dungeon Family and Suave House. Guest appearances from Ras Kass, The Dogg Pound, MC Eiht, Fat Lip, KXNG Crooked, Butch Cassidy, Krayzie Bone, Project Pat, Spice One and Cold 187um to name a few. A taste of the standout tracks on this release are “Let’s Ride” which provides that feel-good LA Summertime vibe as one that fits perfect for radio consideration (hint hint radio stations) , the BBQ jam or even a “Stepper’s” groove. “Stoner Mac” is definitely one for those that “blaze up” with the soulful chords locked into this ode to fine ganjah. “Hibernation” featuring Ras Kass sets the vibe as the album opener, laced to Jazz Fusion tones and solid bars. “Midnight Drive” featuring MC Eiht and Sccit delivering elite bars and smooth flow throughout. This release demonstrates variety in tone, texture and color on every track. This is another West Coast gem for the win.
Production provided by Siavash The Grouch, C-Dubb, Sccit, Chris “The Glove” Taylor, Cold 187um, Jelly Roll, Siccraised, Smoov-E, Roach Kler
