Yeah, his Magnum Opus is called The 900 Number.

The 900 Number is an instrumental, the vocal version is called The Posse is Large by Lakim Shabazz.

Also, his crew was called The Flavor Unit. One day when I was a sophomore in high school I walked in the record store and they had albums by Queen Latifah, Lakim Shabazz and Chill Rob G, all produced by DJ Mark the 45 King. I remember buying Queen Latifah's album as that had the most singles that I had heard and she was getting played on MTV and BET.

My point is that he was an up and coming producer, but this is what destroyed his career;

A German DJ took one of Chill Rob G's acapellas and remixed it with a sampled beat from a song called King Of The Beats by Mantronix. The part that the German DJ sampled was @ 3:49 of King of The Beats by Mantronix.

That remix was a hit in Germany, so the German DJ decided to remake his mix with an actual rapper, named Turbo B. The song was called I Got The Power by Snap.

When Wild Pitch Records, Chill Rob G and DJ Mark the 45 King realized what happened, they made their version of the same song.

So there were two versions of the same song getting played on MTV and BET. Snap's version had singing so girls liked it. Chill Rob G was a better rapper so guys liked his version better.

Eventually it went to court. DJ Mark the 45 King didn't know where the sample was from and couldn't remake it. He got blacklisted for a while and made his comeback with Hard Knock Life and eventually Stan.
