Two of hip-hop’s most uncompromising forces, Ransom and Conductor Williams, join together for a new collaborative project, "The Uncomfortable Truth", which will be released on 11.20.25. The project’s first single, "Bomaye", is now available on all digital streaming platforms.
Following the success of Ransom’s recent collaborative release with DJ Premier, The Reinvention, the acclaimed emcee now connects with Conductor Williams, one of the most innovative producers in modern hip-hop, for a project rooted in raw honesty, creative risk-taking, and sonic evolution.
"The title "Bomaye" comes from the Lingala phrase that means "Kill Him" Ransom explains. "It’s what the crowd was chanting for Ali in Zaire. This track is about killing the competition; just like Ali did in Zaire. People thought he was older, slower, past his prime. But he still went out there and took down the giant. That’s the energy I’m on, proving that skill, strategy and heart will always beat hype".
Conductor Williams shared his insight into the creation of "Bomaye":
"I made the beat for "Bomaye' and texted it over to Ransom, telling him to just trust me", Conductor recalls. "He listened and replied, "Yeah, don’t worry, I know exactly what to do with this". In that moment, I knew we had something. I really wanted to take a different route with Ran, tried my best to give him records that had movement and sequence changes. We mixed this song 10 different times until we got it right. "Bomaye" is a beast of a song. It’s gonna be cool to see him perform it".
The Uncomfortable Truth finds Ransom continuing to sharpen his blade. One of hip-hop’s most revered lyricists, Ran bares his soul, delivering depth and perspective that have made him a standout voice among his peers.
Conductor Williams, coming off his critically acclaimed Trainspotting project with Rome Streetz (Mass Appeal), continues to expand his distinctive production universe. A former train engineer turned Grammy Award winning producer, Conductor’s story is one of persistence and purpose, blending blue collar work ethic with spiritual discipline. His sound jagged, soulful, and fearless, has become a trademark heard across projects from Drake, J. Cole, Tyler, The Creator, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Joey Bada$$, Mach Hommy, Boldy James, Russ, and JID, among others.
With "The Uncomfortable Truth", Ransom and Conductor Williams redefine what it means to be comfortable with the unorthodox.
