1st of all its RAS KASS, not Rass Kass. He's got 2 released albums, his 1st was called Soul On Ice and is lyrically dope, but let down by the production. It is now also out of print so the only way to get it is either on Ebay or d/l it. His second album is called Rassasination and is still available in shops (but you might have to look around to find it). It's not as good as Soul On Ice, but it does have some dope tracks on it. Check out Interview With A Vampire (feat God & Satan), it's considered his other 'opus' track (Nature Of The Threat being the other) and is lyrically his best song IMO. He was gonna release Van Gogh but due to bootlegging (and label politics) it was cancelled. he's finished Goldyn Chyld however at the moment no one knows when it's gonna be released as Ras has the only copy with him (he's on the run for his 3rd DUI and is using it to try and get himself released from Priority Records). There is also an unreleased version of Soul On Ice with different tracks on it.As well as a solo artist he is also a member of the Golden State Project (aka The Golden State Warriorz) along with Xzibit and Saafir. They have an album coming out called The Coast Is Clear. However due to Ras' current situation this has probably been post-poned as it was meant to drop a few months after Goldyn Chyld. Also if he is in Jail, it makes it harder to promote the album. He was also in a group called The Four Horsemen with Canibus, Killah Priest and Kurupt. They've dropped a few songs together and have about 9-11 songs completed for an album. However things went a bit sour between Canibus and the rest of the group, so at the moment they aren't working together, but the beef is nothing too big and they will probably record again in the future.
Here's a list of some tracks you should get:
Interview With A Vampire
Soul On Ice (Diamond-D Remix)
3 Card Molley Ft. Xzibit and Saafir
N.B.A Ft Xzibit and Saafir
TV Guide - there's 2 versions of this, same lyrics but different beats
Home Sweet Home
Game Over
Root of Evil - not great production (unless your a big Battlecat fan, but lyrically dope)
Kiss of Death - diss to Alchemist and Jadakiss
Jack Frost
The Little Children - by David Axelrod ft Ras Kass

IMO, you should start out with some newer Ras material, such as "Van Gogh bootleg" or the new "DJ Lt. Dan & Ras Kass mixtape" both available on mIRC.

If you start with older material, you might be bored with lacking production, even if some of the rhymes are great.

Recommended newer tracks:
[off Van Gogh]
Hot Game
Goldyn Child Premo remix
Kiss U
Kick Rocks feat. Tray Deee
4 Much feat. Bad Azz, Tash & Nate Dogg
Sex feat. Xzibit
NBA feat. Golden State
Van Gogh
TV guide

[off DJ Lt. Dan & Ras Kass mixtape]
Thug Mentality
Kiss of death (Kiss U remix)
Neptunes freestyle
Oral Sex

[other tracks]
Shine all night feat. Napalm
All or nuthin feat. Twista
etc.
