On Sale Now: Join us on Saturday, July 11th, for Conway The Machine's grimy, New York rap live here at Eulogy. Tickets are now available at the link in our bio.
Hailing from Buffalo's East Side, rapper Conway the Machine found success as a musician after suffering a near-fatal shooting in 2012. Matching gritty bars with a methodical, menacing delivery, the MC became a significant player in New York's underground scene, signing a deal with Eminem's Shady Records in 2017. He issued his debut album, From King to a God, in 2020. Alongside brother and fellow rapper Westside Gunn, the MC founded Griselda Records, which became a key component of the late-2010s resurgence of grimy New York rap.
He released his 2015 debut album, The Devil's Reject, on Griselda. Seeing the success of Gunn's frequent Hi**er Wears Hermes series, Conway upped his work ethic, releasing his sophomore album, Reject 2, and the collaborative project Hall & Nash (with Westside Gunn) in the latter half of 2015. Over grimy instrumentals produced by close collaborator Daringer, Conway used wordplay to relate his struggles with violence and street life, while also replicating the mafioso stylings of New York forefathers Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G.
Working closely with local contemporaries from Roc Marciano to Skyzoo, the MC released a rapid-fire string of four albums across 2016 and 2017, building Griselda's profile up enough to land a deal with Eminem's Shady Records. The following year, in addition to issuing his fourth solo album, Blakk Tape, Conway began his Everybody Is F.O.O.D. album series, releasing the first two projects in August and December. The third volume appeared in April 2019 and was followed by Conway's first single with Eminem, "Bang," which appeared in 2020 on his debut studio album, From King to a God. He paired with Method Man for the track "Lemon" later that year, and in 2021 he released the full-length efforts God Don't Make Mistakes and La Maquina.
