Conway the Machine Really is the “S.F.Ok. (Slant Face Killah)” [Album Review]


Buffalo emcee Conway the Machine is again together with his 4th LP. Blowing up in late 2015 as a part of the three OGs of Griselda Data alongside his brother Westside Gunn & their cousin Benny the Butcher, the trio have had hip hop lock ever since their arrival by their fixed work ethic balancing high quality & high quality in addition to vividly detailing their lives within the streets. Con’s full-length debut From King to a God was my Album of the 12 months for 2020 & the Shady Data-backed sophomore effort God Don’t Make Errors is probably the most private he’s ever been. Received’t He Do It simply celebrated it’s 1-year anniversary final weekend & coming contemporary off the Conductor Williams-produced Conductor Machine from final winter, Received’t He Do It 2 is now being scrapped in favor of S.F.Ok. (Slant Face Killah).

After the “Despertar” intro, the primary tune “Mutty” that includes Range God Cooks is a dusty growth bap opener produced by Conductor explaining that those that fucked with them ain’t right here to speak about it whereas “Give & Give” takes the soulful route instrumentally because of Cool & Dre needing one thing to carry on to. “Milano Nights, Pt. 1” works in some pianos, kicks & snares to interrupt down overcoming all trials & tribulations simply earlier than “Kin Xpress” that includes Larry June psychedelically strips the drums speaking about being unfuckwitable.

“Meth Again!” that includes Flee Lord, Methodology Man & SK da King brings the quartet collectively returns to the growth bap because of Daringer speaking about this being a stickup main into “Ninja Man” going into an opulent course courtesy of Swizz Beatz addressing these out right here who keep speaking. Joey Bada$$ joins Conway for the dirty 2nd single “Vertino” with Camoflauge Monk & Sadhugold behind the boards boasting how uncooked they’re, however then “10 / Rya” that includes Key Glock is that this 2-part entice joint that Don Cannon laced speaking about being on 10.

“Dasani” throws these pianos & hi-hats into the image speaking about having this bitch working whereas “Uncooked!” that includes Tech N9ne finds Cardo pulling inspiration from the Memphis scene boasting their lyrical ferocity. “Surf & Turf” that includes Ab-Soul, Jay Worthy, T.F & 2Eleven brings everybody collectively for some jazzy gangsta shit whereas “Karimi” comes with a hazy growth bap flare speaking about wanting the bread. “The Crimson Moon in Osaka” that includes Raekwon rounds out the album with climactic nearer produced by The Alchemist dissing these capping about their avenue cred.

Received’t He Do It had its excessive factors regardless of not being one in all my favourite tasks in Con’s discography, however what was imagined to a sequel to that earlier LP we bought from La Maquina over a 12 months in the past makes enhancements within the departments the place it was missing. The manufacturing is a mixture of growth bap & entice typically, we’ve got an curiously versatile guest-list & the Drumwork founder passionately explains why they name him the S.F.Ok. (Slant Face Killah).

Rating: 8/10
