Rappers Ransom and Conway The Machine have joined forces with producer V Don for Chaos Is My Ladder 2, a highly anticipated follow-up to Ransom and V Don’s 2022 pre-Christmas release.
The new project, which dropped today, showcases Ransom’s razor-sharp wordplay alongside Conway’s effortless flow and gritty storytelling. V Don’s production complements the lyrical acrobatics both MCs are known for, creating what many underground hip-hop fans consider one of the year’s most impactful releases.
Chaos Is My Ladder 2 features dense lyricism throughout, with only one guest appearance. Veteran rapper Lloyd Banks, who also appeared on the first installment, joins Ransom and Conway on the lead single “Higher Killer.”
“When V Don and I were recording Chaos Is My Ladder, we planned on making a series of releases,” Ransom explained. “It wasn’t until we started recording CIML2 that we came up with the concept of bringing in a guest collaborator for each volume in the series.”
He added, “Conway was the first and only choice for CIML2. I know our fans will agree, it’s rarified air to get a project by two of the top lyricists in the game.”
V Don echoed the sentiment, stating, “Ran and Con are both top-tier lyricists; putting them together over my production is next-level pure madness … pure chaos.”
The collaboration marks a significant moment in underground hip-hop, bringing together two of the genre’s most respected wordsmiths. Chaos Is My Ladder 2 is now available on all major streaming platforms.
