CONWAY THE MACHINE 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Soulful, interludey new LP bizniss from Conway The Machine, returning with his first full-length offering of 2024, Slant Face Killah. Subverting the pop cultural trope of the "smiley face killer" - through which the macabre horror of serial murders is subverted by an unsettling appeal to pure happiness - The Machine breaks down this trope with fervour, unleashing his killer insincts upon a mic that knows both gleeful and grim bars. Aggressive, gung-ho lyrics abound across this deft mixture of hard gangsta beats and serene, sampledelic breakdowns, which also channels an impressive feature list including Method Man, Raekwon, Joey Bada$$, Larry June, Key Glock, Jay Worthy & more, and production from heavyweight producers such as The Alchemist, Daringer, Conductor Williams, Cardo, and Swizz Beatz.

Review: Conway The Machine is back in quick time after the success of his 2022 album God Don't Make Mistakes with follow up Won't He Do It. It finds Conway in super form having over come various perusal obstacles as he looks to inspire others to greater achievements than they thought possible. Across the 14 tracks he works with Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher, plus Jae Skeese, Sauce Walka, Juicy J, Fabolous, Dave East, GooseByTheWay and 7xvethegenius amongst more while production is handled by heavyweight producers such as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Khrysis, Daringer, Juicy J and several others.
