Man I’m so glad that I found his channel this dude needs to be protected at all cost
🙏
@@ConductorWilliams Khotso (means peace in Sesotho -a Southern African language). Just wanted to let you know your videos (which I discovered today) are impactful to me all the way here in Johannesburg.
Just really want to wrap up what I’m doing for work so I break out the iPad and get busy. More blessing by a and opportunities to you. ✊🏾
Fr! Best youtube channel
Strongly agree
In my 30s I was obssessed with the idea of "making it" with my music. I stopped doing it because I enjoyed it and just started spamming emcees with beats. Managed to get a couple of beats with an artist who was on Stones Throw at the time and produced most of an album for a well known, underground UK emcee. Thought that was gonna be it. And then...nothing. Nothing. Music came out, comments on the tracks were all about the emcee, hardly anybody mentioned the producer (me), and nobody else approached me asking for beats. I got down, really down and ended up giving up on it. Few other things happened, got married, had kids and beats were fogetten.
Recently started producing again but I don't post anything anymore. It's just for me now, for the process.
Trust Yourself
Take it as a hobby and don't push yourself if you're not feeling right into making music.
For example:
I've removed all my 20 finished songs in my hard drive by accident - 2 years spent which I can't take them back. It is what it is. Shit happens but the family is a top priority for me.
what album
Nothing wrong with creating for your own pleasure.
Keep going make the music you wanna make
Don't see many established producers give it up like this. Thats why you winning glad all the hard work paid off for you looking forward to new music
I thank you fam
“CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM” Best producer tag and you can’t change my mind.
Much love conductor williams, you are part of the best collective of artists from the last 10 years GRISELDA RECORDS.
Conductor always watching Martin 🤣🤣 salut
Love the shoutout to DeadEndHiphop, great channel
conductor you are the goat bro fr
Wow frfr, identity is a major key to great music. I was in the kenny beats beat battles and I kept making beats the way I liked, placed top ten 3 times, kenny didn’t like it, but I kept making it, then a year later someone from the kenny beats discord hit me up completely fanning over the beats I made, and one particular beat in general he wanted me to send it to him. That particular experience completely changed how I view my listeners and helped me realize should make beats how I like ‘em.
Once you identify what and who you are, NOBODY can change it-- continue to make the listener adapt. Dont conform.
I can relate to this. Finding yourself as a producer is so important. Staying true to who you are as creative. Salute 🫡
gotta do your own thing ya know-- following your light can be tough sometimes but gotta keep going
@@ConductorWilliamswe see the movement homie !
Man you really doing it, you building a community that rlly loves you and what you stand for/represent. The utmost respect 🙏🏼
Respect family.
can't overlook or overstate how these videos are as much of an art form as making beats, and seeing you come into your own in developing your youtube style is just as inspiring as the stories you tell within the music. keep that train rolling!!! 🚂🚂🚂
4:36 that beat should be called modern-day wild wild west
as a young producer I really look up to you, you're a big inspiration to me🙏🏽
Thank you fam--stay in your studies, continue making the music you like!
I started producing around 2014-15 & took it very seriously until about 2019 when I decided I wanted to switch industries. Fast forward to present day, I am coming back to production & just bought an MPC Key (just shipped!). So finding this video just gave me so much inspiration.. thank you. - just wanna say I found you're sound through Griselda & couldn't be more thankful. You're CZcams channel alone is a blessing in disguise. Much love CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM
peace fam-- let me know how you like the mpc key. Ive been thinking about it, I really dont need it but it seems fun.
much RESPECT! thank you for posting

So dope. Love your channel bro. Thank you.
Conductor you’re me and my friends fav producer rn. Thanks for these videos
I’ve been flipping through your vids and I appreciate everything I’m seeing. We same age and it’s dope seeing the passion for making art minus antics I recently got back into sampling after about 8-10 year break cus I was in my head as too old but the truth rests comfortably and I’m back digging and chopping. I subscribed for sure. I just love the process of making my own sound. Thank you man
Incredible beat, you’re a monster I’m so glad I found this channel, im 26 been making beats since I was 16, I’m just a fan of the craft and the ones who really love it
i have to watch each video twice cuz first time around i just be head nodding to the beats 😂
😂😂🔥
I see this in the comments a lot already, but I am so happy to have found this channel. Keep it up! Love what you do!
Can’t believe you have this channel, artists of your caliber are so valuable. You’re the first person out here when you talk about producing I completely get you it makes sense. You speak my language. Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for sharing the importance of finding identity
Your honesty is amazing. And being so upfront in your videos is only gonna be worth it in the long run, it’s building a great community of people.
Thank you so much for this🙏🏽 I really needed this G
no doubt
What god has for you no man can stop you’re an inspiration my brother Conductor we have a problem!!!!!
You speak for the souls of so many artists man. I can't express in words how much you mean to this industry
I felt like you were talking to me directly. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerable story, I'm glad I found this channel.
thank you for the inspiration!
love your stuff man !
Bro finding this channel literally made my day. Been a fan of the whole underground movement you’ve been bodying for a minute, so hearing you talk about it so openly and eloquently feels like I’m getting to see behind the curtain. Keep going brody, we’re all gonna keep supporting and running up the greatness you drop. Def gonna cop the merch too lol
Hope we get a breakdown for some of the Nacksaw beats you did, you spazzed on that one!
You are VERY inspiring, man. Thank you so much for posting this kinda content. Abundant gems 💎
No doubt family-- thanks for tapping in legend.
Wow! Psalm One! Been listening to you since you came through Columbus, OH and stayed at my dude's (parents') house 20 yrs ago(?). Good to (digitally) see you!
@@nilespeshay1734 lol that totally checks out. Howdy 🤗
@@ConductorWilliams ✨🙏🏾✨
NICEE!! Sick message brother keep up the positivity and creativity! Inspiring!!
Loved this video format bro! Love from Sweden ✌🏾💯💯
I needed to see this!…just started my music journey 4:26 full time ….keep going hard!….work with you soon! 🤘🏾
Incredible advice, incredible chops. The tranquility in these videos is unmatched 👌
respect family so much music on the way!!
conductor out here creating a beautiful community bruh, crazy to see these comments double every week. keep up the fire shit man we appreciate everything u put out there🫡🙌🏻
Thanks for always sharing your insight and wisdom with us. The music community is in such a positive place thanks to you.
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing! Powerful advice!! BoomBap will never die !
Man i love this dude bro real talk!!
Much love, and I appreciate the pure energy. As a person that used to make beats, I gave it up based on the same things you just addressed, to only find out 10 years later people like this style. I wish you the best, and keep doing what you love. I will start making it beats again after hearing your craft!!!
At your own pace family. God is good-
I’m a producer from Cincinnati, you are a dope inspiration. I had a CZcams channel a few years ago where I was dropping beats on there crazy, but when my page got shutdown it made me lose motivation. I’ve been going hard on the beats and finally realizing my beatape because of people like you out here. Glad I found your channel
Such an inspiration!! Def know what u mean regarding identity.
Was at a Rome Streetz concert few weeks ago, everyone was chanting "CONDUCTOR, CONDUCTOR..."
Onwards and upwards from here!!!
You got the dopest sample selection man
This is really dope. I love those moments when you hit the right spot and go nuts. Those eargasms if you know what I mean. Those moments are precious.
Much love and respect.
the reason i even do it!! its the feeling of love
You’re the definition of inspiration, thank you Conductor for your transparency fam. 🤝🏾
no doubt!
@ConductorWilliams Peace Conductor. Thanks for sharing your through this dope content. It is most helpful and motivational. I appreciate you for this format and commentary you shared in this clip.
This is my DUDE!!! Nothing but inspiration. Being yourself and doing what you love is true success!
absolutely
This is dope, I saw an even older producer/engineer say the same thing, it doesn't matter how much time you put in it's about the love of the craft, most careers in the music industry sprout later in life and it's through sheer dedication, talent, and will. God bless bro maybe we can work one day 💯
Hey man. Just came across this and, I ain't going into the whole story and all that, just want to say thanks cos I needed to hear this right now.
Also: Them beats are dope.
Pure inspiration, thank you 🙏🏼
Dope video Great advice until the next one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Conductor forever dropping gems 💎 Peace and Love Brother!

Just seeing this. Hella inspiring how focusing on your own musical resonance was what led to your success rather than conformity.

Conductor, you are such a vibe bro. You make me appreciate my own personal skillset and ear for music. My shit is niche af, and a lot of people dont like it, but the ones who do love it. Thats what its all about. Thank you for sharing all your insight.
Love ur uptempo ish fam you’re a great already

this some real shit sir. Ty for your content, loved your merch
preciate you copping the merch family
I like your production style. You have some 🔥. The LB joint is super dope and would love to see you work more with them. I still use an old mpc 2500 and don’t plan on changing. Managing family and work as well as other hobbies leave me little time to produce. Be blessed.
Best channel out right now!
I’m a huge fan of your work! Salute.
Salute. Thanks for the love fr!
DOPE!! thanks for the inspiration!!
amazing advice still trying to figure out my sound but i’m gonna follow my gut more often
You got this! Just gotta spend some time in the basement
Well I’m glad I found your music. Your approach to sample based production is very unique. Even though you may not read this, many more blessings dude.
I love the philosophy of this channel. I just subscribed. been making music since 97 used to run a mpc 2000 xl and ran my synths and drum machines through it. quit when i had my kids, came back to it in 2013 and went on to make some records and play summer festivals prior to covid. I got back into making tunes with ableton live, love the format but i miss the mpc in so many ways. this channel reminded me why i enjoyed using the mpc as a sampler. even just to build ideas away from the computer. just the fun of it. Im looking into picking up an mpc one for couch sessions, or sitting outside on the deck or when traveling. i Produce funk, soul, disco vibes, french house and drum and bass grew up on hip hop, and my moms old soul/ motown records and my dads classic rock records. electronic music got me into funk, jazz, and disco. what i love about sampled based music is it teaches us about the past, and eventually we want to learn from those who created these sounds . sampled based music will always get the listener to dig deeper and find where the sounds came from, then they end up listening to that older music alongside the music they may have heard it first sampled. I love that. the new pays homage to the old and allows growth and inspiration to the new. as a musician i tend to stay away from sampling more so these days so that i don't have to clear samples. But that doesn't mean i don't still dig crates , and sample for the love of it. for the learning from the old masters. I always tell people that even as a musician sampling is a great way to learn, because when you sample and add a synth line, or a guitar to that sample or drumming or what ever one plays its like jamming with people. like taking a time machine and getting to play along with great artists, learning from them and taking that lesson and growing as a musician. Just found your channel today. watched a bunch of videos and feel inspired. thanks for doing what you do, and sharing your chill philosophy and vibes. from one musician to another Much love
You inspire me to produce, I just started, still kinda struggling but jus started putting out heat. All cuz of you brother.
respect fam keep going
Conductor, thank you for the inspiration.
Man, that video was so crucial... I'm at this point in which it feels like it's impossible to make money with the music I like/make. But if the alternative is making bland commercial songs, I'll rather do something else...
respect
That drum fill turn around super nice!
Thanks man ✊️, dope ass beat.
Started in 2008 and didn't get a break until 2018...Bro that makes me keep grinding🔥🔥🔥 I'm on a similar journey, I hadn't got my break...but it's coming one day soon.
gotta keep going fam
That beat goes hard my bro keep grinding Nd ur tag bro honestly I think it’s the best if heard 💪🏼💯keep pushing my bro
Every producer should watch this. I've really never heard a producer talk about the disorientation of "I didn't know what I was", and being nearly exploited or their style nearly ruined because of it. WSG and the movement over the last 7-8 yrs or so really is bittersweet for many of us who were told that the style that flashed into the industry in like 93-96 could never come back in a new, fully living form, but ultimately it's a triumph and I salute you. I'm not sure how many I speak for, but I really was at an oversaturation point with sampled beats until you came and added some fresh, "unorthodox" ideas that felt very alive. Perfect for Rome, WSG and more.
This is incredible, very inspiring
Thanks for making this video. Also, shoutout to Yussef Dayes and Dead End Hip Hop!
I’ve always been close to music but this guy inspires me to get serious into it, he’s a real artist
