Jersey City rapper
Randy Nichols
, better known as Ransom, was originally born in Brooklyn, NY in September 1980. His father's slaying and mother's serious illness forced
Nichols
to stay in foster care a few years, but he and his mother eventually relocated to Jersey City when he was about eight years old. A lifestyle of selling drugs, which landed him in and out of jail as a teen, ensued; however, the young rapper wanted out. In 2000, he and his
friends put up money to buy a recording studio, which initiated
Nichols
' rap career under the moniker Ransom. Not long afterwards, he teamed up with fellow rapper
Hitchcock
to form
the A-Team
. Known for their
Hardhood Classics
street albums, the two became staples on the mixtape circuit in New Jersey, but barely dented the scene in neighboring New York. After a deal with Def Jam didn't pan out, the two went their separate ways around 2006. Ransom did not lose much momentum, constantly appearing on
DJ Clue
mixtapes as well as shelling out his own, including the
Best in the City
volumes and
Ransom Note
. In 2007, Ransom received some press over traded lyrical barbs with
Joe Budden
, also a Jersey City native, who included a verse from Ransom and
Hitchcock
on his
Mood Muzik 3
mix album, claiming a reunion by the defunct
A-Team
. Later that year, Ransom geared up to release his
Street Cinema
mixtape, distributed via N.Y. indie Babygrande. ~ Cyril Cordor, All Music Guide
