CRBN: The Album

CRBN: The Album is the debut album from Ro-Rapper '''crbn. The album caught the eye of JolexinJosh, owner of Jiggy Records, who signed crbn''' to the label very shortly after the release.

It focuses on problems of African-Americans (on tracks like Goliath, Damnation, and Free Man, America) and the gangsta lifestyle of the "hood" (on tracks like The Scene, Cruisin, Where Ya At, The Art Of Crime, and Raw Talent).

The track Public Service Announcement sparked controversy as a few Ro-Rappers thought they were getting dissed, and Condeos/Acaciuz accused him of biting J Cole's structure and rhyme scheme on his song Everybody Dies. As of March 2019, crbn has not revealed whether it is a diss or not and who was getting dissed if it was.

The track Humble Yourself was a direct diss track at Condeos. This track sparked their long-running feud, although it leveled out with the arrival and controversy of StorminLol, whom has pushed many artists including crbn and Acaciuz to spark new conflicts.

Background
It was revealed on release that the album's original cover was multiple guns on a table with a long, white object, presumably a joint, similar to Kendrick Lamar 's Section.80 cover. The caption on the justpaste post for this cover states "Cover Rejected by Roblox", meaning that this was uploaded as the original decal and rejected by Roblox moderation.

The release cover shows crbn in multiple situations, such as standing, sitting on the roof, being held at gunpoint, and on the ground, likely dead, after being shot by an invisible man.

Release, Promotion and Commercial Performance
Crbn had been promoting the album for weeks on the Galaxy Records group wall while it was in production, asking for features and hyping it up. ModernLuiz and SpecterSaber later featured. He did the same on the Jiggy Records wall shortly before release. It sold ~10 units in its first 24 hours, but sold little after. As of March 2019, it has sold 12 units.

Reception
The album was met with positive reactions and engagements. JolexinJosh stated it was "fire" and that "it would go down as a classic", promoting it on the Jiggy Records group shout. Terniop 's Ro-Rap Review blog gave it an 8.5/10.
