Two west coast veterans have united with the revitalization of hardcore '90s gangster rap in mind. MC Ren, known for his dazzling abilities on the microphone alongside Ice Cube, Eazy-E and Dr. Dre in N.W.A., has not released an album of his own since 1998's Ruthless For Life. Ren was involved with two new N.W.A. tracks "Hello" and "Chin Check" which were released in 2000 from a dismissed reunion album.
While it won't be alongside Dr. Dre, MC Ren will be returning to the microphone alongside another of Dre's former artists in RBX as The Concrete Criminals. "Ren is anti-fucking-industry. He ain't trying to fuck with nobody," RBX told HipHopDX on Thursday. "Ren is where I was almost about to go," said the Long Beach emcee about his reclusive friend. Both rappers have endured label contract struggles along with former associations. "He almost said, 'It's just me and my family and friends. Fuck that rap shit.'"
Despite nearly hanging up the lyrical laces, a mutual association, Rocc, brought the emcees together. After hearing what RBX and Rocc were working on, MC Ren reconsidered retirement. "[Ren] ain't workin' with nobody, and he chose to come back and work with us, that's a blessing. This is an indication that we did something right for the old school heads. We're bringing back a classic sound. The time wasn't over yet [then]. Some people was just tired of doing it, and the industry got tired of dealing with the knuckleheads. So they got tired of the music, and went with the watered-down version, 'cause you don't have to worry about Chingy running up in the studio with guns," said RBX. "Ren heard The Concrete Criminals, it took him back, and he wanted to be part of that. We went into the studio and started cutting, and it's being wrapped up right now."
The Concrete Criminals trio has yet to announce a label, but promises a 2008 release date. Presently, RBX is set to release Broken Silence next month, which features appearances and production by Snoop Dogg, LMNO and DJ Rhettmatic

GREAT NEWS, REN IS A BEAST..........AND RBX IS VERY UNDERATED.....
2nd that
-
good news...but this record needs good beats
-
I want a MC Ren solo. I don't know why a legend like Ren is fucking with such an avarege rapper (at best) like RBX. I mean he was on the original Chronic, but I always saw him as a gimick, because of his voice.
-
I won't keep my hopes out about them putting official material out, but if they do, I will be very happy. I just hope they get a good producer(s), and I'm curious as to what label would release it. But yeah, Paris and Guerilla Funk would be a good home I'd say, especially if they wanna go a lil political.

RBX wrote some of your favorite records respect tha Narrator 8)

yeah me too, cause this project has potential, but they need production that fits their style;Paris might be involved, since he worked with Ren before. and hopefully there won't be too many producers involved.

Thatīs the only two labels that would give them the freedom to release their type of music,
well Paris is another option. Canīt think any more on top of my head.
I just hope they get a good producer(s),and I'm curious as to what label would release it. But yeah,Paris and Guerilla Funk would be a good home I'd say,especially if they wanna go a lil political
I hope they go a lil political,a mix of Shock Of The Hour,The Villian In Black and The RBX Files would be perfect. Some armagedon shit.
I just hope they get a good producer(s)
yeah me too, cause this project has potential, but they need production that fits their style;
Paris might be involved,since he worked with Ren before and hopefully there won't be too many producers involved.
Hope they stick to one producer and NO guests,keep it old school 10-12 tracks.
The leftovers can go to mix-tapes.
Paris or Greg Royal would be the choice for beats,but since Greg Royal is MIA.
I hope they went for Paris,his production style fit perfect for Renīs hardcore flow.

Would be nice to hear Ren rhyme again, but someone please tell him to stop writing those basic baby rhymes like on his last outings.
Nobody wants to hear him telling his listeners to suck his balls etc..
Im sure the Ren could compete with the likes of Jay-Z/Nas...for inspiring lyrics, but i dont know if RBX is that nigga to inspire him coz he aint exactly lyrically been saying anything ill recently.
