SOB X RBE, an influential hip-hop group from Vallejo, California, was formed in 2016 by four talented artists: Yhung T.O., DaBoii, Slimmy B, and Lul G. The group quickly gained recognition for their unique blend of West Coast hip-hop and hyphy, characterized by impactful lyrics and energetic beats. Their self-titled mixtape released in 2017 marked the beginning of their professional journey, showcasing their raw talent and setting the stage for future success.
In 2018, SOB X RBE released their debut album, “Gangin,” which solidified their presence in the hip-hop scene. The album featured the hit single “Paramedic!” which not only charted on the Billboard Hot 100 but was also included in the soundtrack for the critically acclaimed film “Black Panther.” This collaboration with Kendrick Lamar highlighted their ability to connect with mainstream audiences and established them as a formidable force in the industry.
The group continued to build on their success with the release of “Gangin II” later that year, further demonstrating their growth as artists. Their partnership with notable producers and artists, including a collaborative EP with Marshmello, showcased their versatility and willingness to experiment with different sounds, appealing to a broader audience.
Despite disbanding in 2019, the legacy of SOB X RBE endures through their music and the individual careers of its members. Each artist continues to thrive as a solo act, while their collective work remains a testament to their creativity and impact on the hip-hop genre. Their journey reflects a commitment to artistry and a deep connection to their roots, ensuring their place in the annals of hip-hop history.
