![]() Sell Sole II boasts solid features from names like Big Sean, Rick Ross, Lil Uzi Vert and 6lack. The first installment of Sell Sole debuted back in 2014. ![]() If you thinkin’ with your dick, then we gon’ put it on your head.” Ain’t fishin’ for no b**ches, I’m like Nemo with one fin, yeah. I’m the biggest Joker, I need a b**ch like Harley Quinn. These b**ches love my energy, they want me in their bed. Try to give her Hennessy, she want a perc instead. Please don’t get it twisted, mmm this b**ch about her bread. “She gon’ get to twistin’ on the pole with her legs. The project marks her official debut, years after her well-known breakout hit “Try Me.” On the “Bubbly” track, Dej comes in with with the flow fans were craving: With this album, I think he can reach that plateau with the title serving as a symbol of his newly-appointed station.DeJ Loaf has released her new album Sell Sole II. It’s been said that “ From King to a God” is a prequel to his official major label debut, “God Don’t Make Mistakes”. The DJ Premier-produced “Nothin Less” doesn’t have the expected sound from Premo, it sounded more like an ‘80s R&B track. Conway shows a certain vulnerability on it by honoring fallen friends.Ĭlosing out the album are two tracks: The Khrysis produced “Jesus Khrysis”, which has Conway spitting some of his best braggadocio rhymes on the album with lines like “I came back to kill these niggas again / Lyrics written in Braille, nigga, you gotta feel it to understand” and “Niggas try blockin’ my goals, I’ma make it Messi / My OG told me, ‘Gotta kill a nigga you love, do it clean, you don’t make it messy'”. The nearly 8-minute “Forever Droppin Tears” features ElCamino and production from Rockwilder and Erick Sermon. The 3rd part of Conway’s “Spurs” series, this is the first time someone (Beat Butcha) did the production instead of Daringer and the first time it included a guest (Westside Gunn) in addition to Benny. Also, Machine gets the usual family affair in order on “Spurs 3” with Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher. Fellow coke rhymer Freddie Gibbs provides an assist with a woeful street tale of his own. On the melancholic “Seen Everything But Jesus”, Conway proves himself to be a storyteller who can hold his own in a rhymed detail narrative. With quick-paced, head-nodding 808 drum programming and melodic synth keys, Machine and fellow Buffalo emcee Armani Caesar give us a track worthy of the nightlife. His flow and wordplay are in stark contrast to Machine’s hyper-realistic street bars:Ĭanadian producer Murda Beatz provides a sound that’s unusually upbeat for an emcee such as Conway. ![]() Featuring Method Man, the Wu-Tang emcee’s verse alone makes him the best guest rapper on the album. The Daringer/Beat Butcha produced “Lemon” is the type of Griselda backdrop that I’m accustomed to: A spooky atmosphere with a sampled piano loop. However, Flee Lord stands out the most for the intensity he brought to his verse. Over Havoc’s string-heavy street production, each man brought their A-game with the battle rhymes. No stranger to letting other emcees take a swing on the mic, Conway enlists Havoc, Flee Lord, and Lloyd Banks for the posse cut “Juvenile Hell”. Dej Loaf provides a sung verse over the soulful backdrop. One producer for whom 2020 has been a banner year is Hit-Boy, who laces the beat on “Fear God”. He produced the opening track, “From King”, while sharing production duties on two other tracks. Production-wise, Griselda’s in-house beatsmith Daringer has a noticeably smaller role. ![]() Despite the album having a few filler tracks, Machine may just end up with the crown on the album cover if he continues the route he’s currently on. ![]() He’s rapping over beats outside of the dark, almost-syrupy, sample-based production customary of Griselda and he’s experimented as a lyricist, rapping at an accelerated pace and on topics beyond his usual. His third 2020 album, and first solo album of the year, Machine builds on what he began with “LULU” in that he’s transcending his limits. His newest album offers listeners his most ambitious transition yet – “ From King to a God“. He’s gone from slinging on the block to doing national tours with his Griselda brethren. Because it’s the one word which encapsulates the trajectory to which he’s taken his career. Actually, you won’t, but his picture should be in there. If you look up the word “ascension” in the dictionary, then what you’ll find is a head shot of Conway the Machine. ![]()
