Conway The Machine Confirms There Is Only One “SFK (Slant Face Killah)” On Latest Album

by

So many big-ticket artists have come through with some fire releases today. Chief Keef, Ghostface Killah, and Gunna are just a handful, but Conway the Machine deserves to be in that conversation. The prolific and gritty Buffalo, New Yorker has been on a torrent streak of releases over the last year and today he is back with a new studio album. In fact, SFK (Slant Face Killah), is the fourth one in the discography of Conway The Machine.

Right from the true opening cut “Mutty” with the ever-so-consistent Stove God Cooks, you know that Conway is not playing around on this project. However, that point was clear when the promotional singles were rolling out. Additionally, SFK was bound to be great based on the stacked set of guest performers. With names like Joey Bada$$, Method Man, Swizz Beatz, Key Glock, Tech N9ne, and Raekwon in the fold, fire collaborations are bountiful.

On this tape, Conway is delivering his usual dingy boom-bap formula on cuts like “Meth Back!” and “Mutty.” But he is also showing that he enjoys bodying trap beats on “Ten/Rya Interlude” and “Raw!” That is especially true on the latter, as Conway is like a hot knife through butter on the speedier drum pattern. Overall, Conway really brings it on the concise 14-song tracklist, and rarely feels like an afterthought at any point.

Gorillaz Drops New Album “Cracker Island”

by

Gorillaz has just dropped Cracker Island, marking the band’s eighth studio album. The English band has been hinting at this project since August and has teased its release with a few singles from the album. With 10 tracks in total, the collective work further solidify’s Gorillaz’s indescribably unique take on music that blends genres together seamlessly. The album itself boasts a wide range of featured artists, including Latin singer Bad Bunny, rock icon Stevie Nicks, and psychedelic-inspired producer Tame Impala.

Cracker Island also includes the band’s recent release of “Silent Running,” in which they collaborated with vocalist Adeleye Omotayo. Prior to the drop of the album, band members expressed their anticipation for their first large project since 2020’s Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez in a press release. Guitarist Noodle stated, “Cracker Island is the sound of change and the chorus of the collective,” with bassist Murdoc Niccals adding, “the hallowed tones of Cracker Island will soundtrack our collective ascension into the new dimension!”

Gorillaz’s “Cracker Island” Defies Genre Expectations

Niccals and Noodle both hit the nail on the head with their descriptions of Cracker Island. In all, Gorillaz has again showcased its incredible skills in versatility and fearlessness in experimentation. From the groovy and deep beats of “Cracker Island” featuring Thundercat to the band’s unlikely take on alternative reggeaton in their Bad Bunny collaboration “Tormenta,” Cracker Island takes listeners on an unmatched journey through contemplative sounds and danceable tunes.

Of course, the album cover features the iconic cartoons of the band, illustrated by co-founder Jamie Hewlett. The release of Cracker Island follows the unfortunate news of Gorillaz’s Netflix movie being canceled. But, Hewlett has still found a way to bring unique animations to the screen in the debut music video for the latest project.
