Conductor Williams, born Denzel Williams, has long outgrown the Griselda ecosystem — beats for Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Boldy James and Rome Streetz, plus placements with Drake ("8am in Charlotte"), J. Cole and Tyler, The Creator, along with a Grammy nomination via Leon Thomas' "Mutt." His sound stays recognizable regardless of who's on the mic: loop-heavy soul chops and gritty drums, mostly built on the Roland SP-606 — and before producing, he actually worked as a railway conductor, which is where the name comes from. For "GOH," he links with Bart Oatmeal, the musical alter ego of Baron Davis, a three-time NBA All-Star and one of the most explosive point guards of his generation, remembered for his 2007 dunk over Andrei Kirilenko among other highlights. Davis has run Bart Oatmeal as a serious rap persona for years now, independent of the ex-athlete novelty factor. The beat sits low and spacious, and Oatmeal's delivery doesn't read as a celebrity cameo — it reads as someone who treats the bars like the job.
