Background

Following his guest appearances on The Chronic and Doggystyle, RBX was tagged to be Death Row’s next big star, but that was not to be—Dr. Dre and Suge Knight pushed back his debut, and he wound up leaving the label and putting out the album on Premeditated Records.

Reception

Allmusic - "Many of the hip-hoppers who heard RBX's cameos on Dr. Dre's The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle recognized the L.A. rapper's potential and asked, "When will this guy have an album of his own out?" But regrettably, RBX's first solo album, The RBX Files, ended up being delayed a few years because of the MC's problems with Dre and Snoop, both of whom he vehemently attacks on the single "A.W.O.L."..."

Option (1-2/96, p. 111)—"The RBX Files is subtly funky (with) expertly paced backing tracks."
