“In all seriousness tho, anyone that knows me knows there’s nothing I love to do more than bein up on that stage!

However I am in good spirits and I’m only looking at it as just a minor lil setback for a MAJOR COMEBACK! No stress!!”

Conway The Machine Reflects On Close Friendship With JAY-Z

by

Conway The Machine says that JAY-Z is one of the only people in the music industry who genuinely cares about his well-being. The former Griselda rapper explained how JAY-Z is a “real” and “genuine dude” during a Twitter Spaces talk with Elliott Wilson.

“This is probably the one guy, only guy who I felt like genuinely cared about me and my well-being. He ask about how I’m doing, and family stuff, shit like that. It’s just regular shit,” Conway said before adding, “I kind of respect that and like that a little more.”

From there, Conway explained that he doesn’t get star-struck when he hangs out with JAY-Z, which he attributes to helping their friendship. “I ain’t really trippin off the ‘Oh man, it’s JAY-Z.’ That’s probably why we ain’t did a lot of music together and stuff because I don’t hit him up about stuff like that,” he added. “We hang out. I might not even get a picture. You won’t even know that we hung out. I think he like that about me too.”

Despite not doing “a lot of music together,” JAY-Z did bring Conway in for “King Kong Riddim” off the soundtrack for the 2021 Netflix film The Harder They Fall. The comments come following the release of Conway’s latest album, Won’t He Do It.

Conway On His Friendship With JAY-Z

Won’t He Do It is Conway’s first album since last year’s God Don’t Make Mistakes, and his first post-Shady Records release. The project features Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, as well as Juicy J, and more. During an interview with Rolling Stone following the release of the project, Conway revealed that he explained that he recorded “five to six albums worth of material” after going to Denver last summer.

Conway The Machine Says He Recorded “5 To 6 Albums” Of Music Ahead Of “Won’t He Do It”

by

Conway The Machine says that he recorded five to six albums worth of material while working on his new album, Won’t He Do It. Conway discussed the making of the record during an interview with Rolling Stone published on Friday. He began by admitting that a swath of artists biting Griselda’s style diminished his enthusiasm for hip-hop.

“Everybody trying to rap over the same type of beats we was rapping on. People was taking our cover art direction, our whole thing that made us us. It seemed it was getting watered down some,” he reflected. “I don’t even like them kind of beats no more. It was boring me. I fell back, but I got that feeling back again like the good old days at Daringer’s house.”

From there, he explained that he recorded “five to six albums worth of material” after going to Denver last summer. “I would lock myself in the studio down in Denver with my boy, Rocky,” he said. “Just out there having shrooms, and it was a good time. It’s just an unreal magical vibe down in Denver. [Denver] unlocked something inside of me, man. I feel alive.”

Won’t He Do It is Conway’s first album since last year’s God Don’t Make Mistakes, and his first post-Shady Records release. The project features Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, Juicy J, and more. For the production, Conway worked with Daringer, Khrysis, Justice League, and Juicy J. Rolling Stone wasn’t the only outlet Conway spoke with ahead of the project’s release. He also sat down with Ebro In The Morning, last week. During that interview, he opened up about the 2012 shooting that paralyzed the right side of his face and left him with Bell’s Palsy. “I just wanna inspire people with my story,” he said during the discussion. Check out the title track for Conway’s new album below.

Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher & Fabolous Open A “Brooklyn Chop House”

by

If you’re looking for some of the best hip-hop of the year, odds are you’ve probably already listened to Conway The Machine’s latest album, WON’T HE DO IT. If you haven’t, you’ve got a lot of catching up to do with this lyrically skilled and instrumentally luxurious project. While the album has plenty of highlights, including the Westside Gunn-assisted “Brucifix,” its most immediately ear-grabbing moments are reflections of Griselda’s history. Featured guest Benny The Butcher shines on “Brooklyn Chop House,” proving that though both artists are on their own separate paths, the Griselda family is forever. In addition, Brooklyn legend Fabolous comes through with a great verse of his own.

Of course, the lyrical matter here is quite similar to the rest of Conway’s excellent catalog. There are material flexes, drug deal terminology, detailed narratives, proven proclamations of greatness in the game, and reflections on their struggles. Each verse comes through with an emphatic and measured flow that weaves their bars together with ease. Instrumentally, a hopeful and wistful string section loop overtakes a simple boom-bap beat. Even though there’s just a kick and a snare audibly present in the mix, the sample keeps the rhythm up nicely. For longtime fans of the Griselda sound, it’s more of the same quality; for newcomers, any track could make for a great introduction.

Furthermore, Conway The Machine has a lot of greatness on the way through his solo work and his Drumwork Music Group. With a fresh pool of raw talent on his roster, the Buffalo native is developing himself as much as a curator as he is a lyricist with every release. With that in mind, find WON’T HE DO IT on your preferred streaming service and check out standout bars from “Brooklyn Chop House” down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Fabolous, Benny The Butcher, and Conway The Machine.

Quotable Lyrics
Damn, what is you sayin’? I was outside, hustlin’ grams
I looked my man right in his eyes and I said “Bro, what is your plan?”
Run up your bands, this where I stand, I bought some diamonds for both of my hands
If I’m in a jam, I’m uppin’ the can’, you try to run down, won’t let you advance (Brr)

Conway The Machine Drops New Album, “WON’T HE DO IT”

by

In many ways, Conway The Machine can be considered one of the top-tier rappers on the scene. He is a frequent collaborator of Benny The Butcher and Westside Gunn, both of which are close family members. However, he has been seeing great success with his solo releases. Slowly but surely, Conway improves his skillset with every release. Last week, the rapper released a new single from his album. The single, “The Chosen,” features fellow rapper Jae Skeese.

The song immediately catches the attention of listeners with its great production. Conway The Machine has always had a great ear for beats, and this is evident in the track. Along with the song, Conway dropped a visualizer for the track. It features the rapper at a photo shoot. It was an odd but interesting video, compiling a long series of pictures into a video. In the end, it almost looks like a video that has simply had many of its frames removed. Now, Conway has returned with a new studio album, WON’T HE DO IT.

Conway Has A Lot On His Mind

Conway The Machine’s new album is the rapper’s best yet. As always, his beat selection is on point, with each song matching perfectly complementing his classic flow. The old-school sounds featured in many of the tracks are exactly the type of return to form that hip-hop needs. This is not the album where you save a few songs and forget the rest. This is the kind of album you sit down and listen to in full.

For those more single-song inclined, however, there are some standouts. In particular, the title track is a perfect representation of the album’s sound and vibe. On it, Conway raps about what’s on his mind and how he feels like his kindness is taken advantage of. “Got a bunch of sh*t on my mind lately / Got so much good in my heart it’s like why hate me,” the rapper says. “Go out my way for these n*ggas they still violate me.” Along with the album, Conway released a new visualizer for the title track.
