Conway The Machine And Jae Skeese Link Up For “Pain Provided Profit” Project

by

This Friday (March 10) has brought around some highly-anticipated drops, and Pain Provided Profit is no exception. Conway the Machine and Jae Skeese collaborate on the 7-track album, which results in nothing short of a smooth-rolling masterpiece. The New York rappers keep things sweet and simple on this Drumwork Music Group effort, which is their first joint project since Conway’s 2022 album What Has Been Blessed Cannot Be Cursed, where Jae featured on “In My Soul,” “Sunday Sermon,” and “Big Drum.”

Pain Provided Profit also brings back other contributors from the previous project, including 7xvethegenius and SK Da King. Both artists join in the final track of the album, “Food,” alongside GooseBytheway. The entirety of the project showcases great versatility for Conway and Skeese, both of whom intertwine their individual signature rap styles effortlessly into their work.

Conway and Jae Create “Cocaine Paste”

Previously the New York native released under Griselda Records, which was founded by his half-brother Westside Gunn and also represented his cousin Benny the Butcher. In light of announcing his new label, Conway confirmed that there was no bad blood between him and his family members, noting that the split was simply due to distance and time. “We don’t all live in the same city no more, we don’t really hang out and do shit no more, see each other. So all these conversations we don’t necessarily get to have all the time,” the rapper revealed to Ebro last year.

Although embarking on a new chapter in his career, Conway the Machine seems to have launched an impressive start to building up Drumwork. In fact, Jae signed to his label back in 2021, and dropped “Against the Grain” with Conway and Flee Lord in 2022. The Drumwork team has also announced a docuseries underway. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Pain Provided Profit, now available on all streaming services. As always, keep in touch with HNHH for the latest news in hip-hop and pop culture.

Conway The Machine’s Drumwork Records Spring takeover continues with Pain Provided Profit, his collaborative project with Jae Skeese, which is now available.

Jae Skeese, the first artist to sign with Conway The Machine’s Drumwork Music Group brand, contributed vocals to the first single from La Maquina, “Blood Roses,” and two tracks on the deluxe edition of From King To A GOD by Conway The Machine. In addition to performing on God Don’t Make Mistakes, Conway’s debut album on Shady Records, Skeese continued to rise by helping the album’s release by collaborating with Conway on two separate freestyles that were featured on Bootleg Kev and LA Leakers.

Conway The Machine Announces New Album & Docuseries From His Drumwork Label

by

Conway the Machine just announced a new album and docuseries on the way from his new music collective, Drumwork. Moreover, this news comes almost a full year after the 40-year-old lyricist left his longtime label, Griselda. Still, the future is bright for the “Scatter Brain” rapper. Furthermore, the upcoming projects will highlight each of Drumwork’s members, which are not apparently set in stone. “We here!!!” Conway captioned the post. “They doubted us, now we gon make them respect this Drumwork s**t! Time to etch this s**t stone! DW the album & docu-series on the way.” While fans are already ecstatic, he hasn’t shared a release date as of yet.

However, his departure from Griselda is not a sign of bad blood or enemy status when it comes to his former label mates. In fact, in Conway’s announcement post on Instagram, fellow MC extraordinaire (and Griselda member) Benny the Butcher commented a slew of fire emojis. Also, Conway spoke to Ebro last year about the realities faced in his decision to leave. “It ain’t nothing to even trip off, for real,” the Buffalo native expressed. “I don’t know what’s going on… everybody just doing so much man, just on the individual side that we don’t really kinda be having the time to really connect all the time and link.

Moreover, he continued: “We don’t all live in the same city no more, we don’t really hang out and do shit no more, see each other. So all these conversations we don’t necessarily get to have all the time.” However, in the time since those statements, Conway built an impressive team at Drumwork. Furthermore, it started when he signed Buffalo rapper Jae Skeese to Drumwork Music Group in January of 2021. Upon the announcement, Skeese posted a picture of him and the Machine, calling it the moment he “always prayed for.”

“I’m happy to announce the ink is dry!!” Conway wrote in his post with the same picture. “It’s official!! The first artist signed to @drumworkmusic CONGRATULATIONS KING @jaeskeese this is just the beginning the REAL work begins NOW!! I believed in u from the start and I know when it’s all said and done u gon be in that top 5 convo… it’s up!!!” Skeese dropped his first Drumwork single, “Against The Grain” with Conway and Griselda’s Flee Lord, last March. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Conway the Machine, Drumwork, and a new batch of top-notch MCs.
