While he’s been proven to shine on grimy production from Daringer, Beat Butcher, and Alchemist, there’s something about Murda’s production that awakens a new side of The Machine. Over a spooky backdrop of creeping piano and faint wailing brass, Conway quickens the flow with a slick homage to Kodak Black‘s “No Flockin” before truly going off. Lyrically, he remains among the game’s most formidable, doling out threats with a delivery that’s alarmingly sincere. “Pressure ni*ga, we like, “Please pull up”, we gon’ air at you,” he spits. “Last ni*ga tried to play with me / You know they found the fuck ni*ga dead after.”

Check out La Maquina right here, a project that once again highlights his impressive versatility. Here’s to more Murda Beatz and Machine collaborations to come, as they’re currently on a bit of a winning streak.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Woah, after this tape don’t compare rappers
Thought I made this shit clear after Hall N Nash ’cause I been on a tear after
No strings, couple mixtapes, signed to Shady Records like a year after
How I’m still seein’ four hundred a month without an album out?
That’s a head-scratcher
