Conway The Machine has remained one of the most compelling lyricists in the game. The Griselda clique has continued to have a grip on the culture but like many empires, it either expands or falls. Conway recently announced that he fulfilled his contractual obligations to the label, putting his focus towards the Drumwork imprint.
This month, he’s delivering tons of music for fans. He dropped his new mixtape, Greetings Earthlings, over the weekend while his Shady debut, God Don’t Make Mistakes is expected to drop this Friday. Ahead of the project’s release, the rapper made his way over to L.A. Leakers where he and Jae Skeese came through with bars over Pusha T’s latest single, “Diet Coke.” Jae Skeese, who has frequently appeared on Conway’s recent projects, comes through swinging off the bat. It’s an excellent display of why Conway signed him to Drumwork as the first signee.
Conway quickly follows up, dishing out a slew of bars detailing his luxurious fashion sense effortlessly before diving into humblebrags of his A-Lister connections. “I conjure entendres/ That got me Grammy-nominated, I was on Donda/ Kanye my patna,” he raps over Kanye & 88Keys production

[Verse 1: Jae Skeese]
I apply pressure with lines even when they block me like
Them rappers
Skeese the best next up
I came to carry the title
Burying rivals
Delivering truth like a missionary
Carrying bible, young visionary
Words painting pictures
I let my light shine, it grow my cream like it’s flora and fauna
Word to my mama, growing up, I wasn’t [forward?] the trauma
Uh, no filet mignons, it was Q steaks
Hoes in the back and my denims held by a shoelace
Now, I’ve arrived years after my due date
I told twenty cities
In 2021, two options
Now everything’s for Weeze, he knew I was too capable
I’m in position
My merch is selling out
I’m getting features
I’m doing songs with artists that in my mind define great
I know it’s more coming
’cause I’m just scratching the surfaces
The best part
Life is fly once you figure out what your purpose is
I spit bullets like a 50 cal loaded
That’s my rap
I’m the beast that even dictionaries couldn’t define
Check the almanacs, this here is historical that you witnessing
My levels high as satellite
We heard your album, bro
My name’s Skeeze
And by the time I’m done
In top threes be number two minus the one
My back against the wall
I know just how I’m gon’ react
I rock the white and blue
I left them shocked
Coming for minds like the IRS when you owe tax
I’m on my own
How you cold as a
The key is I’m a legend
I don’t
Was at they heads
I don’t
These days I do a lot of humble bragging
I recognize my greatness realizing they under average
[Verse 2: Conway the Machine]
My success killing these niggas slowly
Gon’ fuck around and turn me back into the old me
It’s lonely at the top nigga, and I’m the top nigga
Headliner, I’m the top biller
