Conway the Machine & Ransom Launch Collab LP “Chaos is My Ladder 2” Prod. by V Don (Album Assessment)
This can be a model new collaborative LP between Buffalo, New York emcee/entrepreneur Conway the Machine alongside Jersey Metropolis wordsmith Ransom. One among whom got here up together with his Corridor ‘N Nash cohort Westside Gunn in addition to Benny the Butcher as Griselda Information’ core 3 artists & the opposite began as 1/2 of the A-Crew besides he very like Benny noticed renewed curiosity of their careers when 38 Spesh signed them to TCF Music Group for a time frame. Each of those guys have collaborated with one another beforehand on “Stab Out” off Conway’s third album Received’t He Do It & are teaming up for a sequel to Ransom’s fifth solo album Chaos is My Ladder produced by V Don, who’s staying behind the boards on the follow-up.
“A New Day” will get the ball rollin’ by hopping over a guitar & organs bringing the chaos collectively for roughly 3 & a half minutes whereas “Limitless” aggressively speaking about ensuring the whole lot they do is previous the purpose of getting any limitations. “Photograph Bomb” works in pianos to debate everybody over the age of 40 making celebration anthems calling these lil gangbangers Infantile Gambinos simply earlier than the increase bap-laced “Shell Fish” eager to know who else brings the chaos like they do.
In the meantime on “Mid Life Disaster”, we’re handled to the primary of two Ransom solo joints soulfully speaking about not stopping the celebration & persevering with to have fun for him simply earlier than “Commandments” eerily declares that they’ll’t fuck with them since they received an excessive amount of hustle. After the “Anarchy” interlude, “Born Once more” brings a soulful entice flare to the desk stressing out pondering of their homies who ain’t right here whereas “Larger Killer” that includes Lloyd Banks was a murderous alternative of a single. “Nefarious” by Ransom ends Chaos is My Ladder 2 within the type of secret interviews with the satan.
Chaos is My Ladder virtually 2 years later needs to be one among my favorites in Ransom’s complete discography, so the sequel right here had me anticipating it as a lot & him linking up with Conway the Machine makes it a step above Ache Offered Revenue with Jae Skeese & on par with Coup de Grâce with Rome Streetz as among the finest collab efforts from both of them. V Don’s manufacturing stays constant because it was on the predecessor, permitting the two east coast artists to raise their chemistry.
