3022917, Conway the Machine & Alchemist - Lulu
Posted by DJR, Fri Mar-20-20 05:36 PM
Dropping 3/30 according to Alchemist. As far as I know, it’s an EP.

This beat....I’m into it.

3023139, That Shoot Sideways-Calvin-They Got Sonny-Gold BBs stretch??
Posted by DJR, Mon Mar-30-20 09:21 AM
Ridiculous. Cormega was a great feature. And I realize that “stretch” is 4/6 of the album, lol. Other songs are cool too.

Wish they would’ve just did 5-6 more tracks and made this his album.
3023156, This solidifies what I’ve been saying, Conway needs an exec producer
Posted by High Society, Mon Mar-30-20 02:09 PM
Coulda easily stretched out the Paid in Full concept another 5 songs and made this an LP that would’ve maintained focus and concept throughout.

My main gripe with Conway projects is that production starts to all sound the same.
Alchemist can give him enough variety in the beats yet still be cohesive.

This is already one of the better Conway projects and only listened to it twice.

I think Conway can put together 12-14 songs that would give you a Life After Death type feel... some sky is the limit, some I got a story to tell, some long kiss, some you’re nobody, a posse cut like Ns Bleed, some What’s Beef... and even a more mainstream record thats still street ready like Hypnotize...

If had someone to help him bounce ideas.
Looking forward to the “debut” album.
3023166, this is interesting

Yeah, I can see all that.
3023171, I think he’s beginning to stretch his feet out.
Posted by High Society, Mon Mar-30-20 08:41 PM
He’s getting more comfy, finding different pockets on beats.
3023177, This is why I'm so interested in the album.
Posted by phemom, Tue Mar-31-20 02:21 AM
Conway can be diverse when he wants....I would guess that the album that's being made admist all of this will be diverse too.

Then again, I thought WWGD would be diverse and while I enjoyed the album is was more of the same....so who knows?

We might be getting at least 4 more Griselda projects this year....which is crazy.
3023173, This is great
Posted by Kosa12, Mon Mar-30-20 10:06 PM
Honestly every single Griselda member should do an album with Alchemist. His sound is perfect for them.
3023430, Dope project
Posted by ProgressiveSound, Mon Apr-06-20 01:45 PM
3023443, definitely dope

3023680, One of my favorite Griselda projects so far, front to back
Posted by Oak27, Sun Apr-12-20 08:33 PM
Though front to back really isn't that far a distance given this is 6 actual tracks, but the brevity helps it a lot. 14 KI's, Shoot Sideways and Gold BBS'S are my favorite tracks and I love the flow he uses on Calvin.
3023726, I won’t lie....I’ve been mostly avoiding this “type” of music
Posted by DJR, Mon Apr-13-20 03:39 PM
I’m struggling with being absolutely miserable with the darkness of the whole thing we’re going through, so I’ve largely been gravitating to lighter and happier music just to try to stay up.

But this is a monster, quality wise. And there will certainly come a time where I’ll wear this out.
3023818, Gunn should be dropping tomorrow

at least according to Primo during his battle with RZA. I'm expecting more heat.
