Conway the Machine: Hip-Hop Artist in New York

About Conway the Machine

Conway the Machine is a Buffalo rapper and a co-founder of Griselda Records, working in the boom-bap and East Coast hip-hop tradition. He drew wider attention with the 2015 mixtape *Reject 2*, later shaping a larger narrative arc on *From King to a God* (2020) and *God Don’t Make Mistakes* (2022). His writing favors blunt detail and controlled menace over hook-heavy gloss. In New York City, his set at Gramercy Theatre places that stripped-down intensity in a classic live-room setting.
