Conway

Conway the Machine is a Buffalo-bred rapper and cornerstone of the Griselda collective, known for his razor-sharp lyricism, gritty street narratives, and unmistakable laid-back flow. Rising from the city’s underground scene alongside his brother Westside Gunn and cousin Benny the Butcher, Conway carved his lane with raw, unflinching storytelling shaped by his experiences growing up in Buffalo’s East Side. His career took off after surviving a near-fatal shooting in 2012, which left partial facial paralysis but fueled his relentless work ethic. Tracks like "Novacane" and "Monsta Flow" showcase his knack for pairing haunting production with vivid, no-frills bars, while projects like *The Blakk Tape* and *Nutcracker* highlight his consistency in delivering hard-hitting mixtapes and albums. With a signature gravelly tone and collaborations spanning from Alchemist to J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Conway remains a heavyweight in modern hip-hop’s revival of raw, unfiltered rap craftsmanship.
