Following his incarceration and later a shooting incident that left his face partially paralyzed, the Buffalo native has spent the last five years building himself up, mixtape by grimy mixtape, to become one of the most distinctive voices in rap today. A core part of the Griselda trifecta, he brings all of that experience to From King to A GOD, a future classic that captures the spirit of projects like Everybody Is F.O.O.D. and LULU while hinting at the path forward in his thriving career. Breaking with his typically local approach, he recorded these tracks in various spots around the country with a multigenerational set of producers, including trap king Murda Beatz and golden-age legend Erick Sermon, along with his own reliably rugged studio partners Beat Butcha, Daringer, and The Alchemist.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2905\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2905\" style=\"width: 426px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2905\" src=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/From-King-To-A-GOD-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"426\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/From-King-To-A-GOD-300x300.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/From-King-To-A-GOD-150x150.jpeg 150w, http:\/\/streamapse.com\/Magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/From-King-To-A-GOD.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2905\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/us\/album\/from-king-to-a-god\/1531004243?itsct=music_box&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ls=1&amp;app=music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>StreamConwayTheMachineFromKingToAGOD<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are, of course, plenty of bars about street life and the hustle that fans have come to admire from him, but also powerful and personal moments like the Black Lives Matter affirmation \u201cFront Lines\u201d and the confessional \u201cForever Droppin Tears.\u201d At a time when the majority of major hip-hop releases boast a familiar rotation of popular guests, Conway stunts differently: He assembles a cadre of Queens MCs, including Lloyd Banks and Havoc, for the Mobb Deep homage \u201cJuvenile Hell\u201d and links with his creative forebear Method Man on the rugged rhymefest \u201cLemon.\u201d And though previously not known for being a singing hip-hop hooksmith, he reveals his hidden talent on the Freddie Gibbs team-up \u201cSeen Everything but Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a long road to Conway the Machine\u2019s proper debut album.
