Conductor Williams


Denzel Williams, known professionally as Conductor Williams, is an American record producer known for his work with the musical collective Griselda. He has produced for rappers Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Boldy James, and Rome Streetz, as well as their former member and associate Mach-Hommy. He is also known for his work with other artists such as Tyler, The Creator, Drake, JID, J. Cole, and Joey Badass.
Williams is part of a hip hop collective named "The Heartbreakers" which include fellow Griselda in-house producers Denny LaFlare and Camoflauge Monk. Prior to his music career, Williams worked as a railway conductor.

Musical style

With the use of the Roland SP-606, Williams musical style is considered a blend of loop-heavy, vinyl-esque sample chops and gritty boom bap drums, which is said to add a sense of nostalgia and richness to his music production.
He is also known for intentionally incorporating elements of dissonance in his production, often choosing unconventional sounds to include as a part of his beats and distorting samples. Williams self-describes his musical aesthetic as "polarizing" and aims to garner intrigue among listeners above all else.
