Conway the Machine — real name Demond Price — is a rapper hailing from Buffalo, New York. Over the years he has carved out a reputation for raw, gritty lyricism and a no-holds-barred approach to storytelling. Even before fame, Conway had his share of struggles: in 2012 he survived a near-fatal shooting that left part of his face permanently affected and altered his voice — a slurred delivery that would later become part of his signature style.

His rise was slow and deliberate. In his early days, Conway and his half-brother Westside Gunn (and their circle) laid the foundations of a distinctive movement in hip hop — forming Griselda Records. Conway released a string of mixtapes that resonated with underground listeners because of their gritty honesty and classic East-Coast rap sound.

In 2020 came his first official studio album, From King to a God — a full-length project that helped cement his reputation beyond the underground. Then came another high-profile record, God Don’t Make Mistakes, released in 2022 under a major partnership. But soon after, Conway chose a different path: he left both that partnership and Griselda to strike out on his own, launching his own label, Drumwork Music Group.

Since then, Conway’s been busy — releasing music with independent freedom, leaning into his style and identity without compromise. His latest full album, Won’t He Do It, dropped in 2023 under Drumwork. And in 2024 he followed up with another project, Slant Face Killah, reflecting his evolution as an artist who values authenticity over commercial polish.

But beyond his solo work, Conway remains a collaborator. That brings us to his latest spotlight — a feature on the single “Sticks & Stones” by rapper Joyner Lucas, which dropped on March 1, 2024.

“Sticks & Stones” pairs Conway’s grim realism with Joyner’s introspective storytelling. Conway opens the track with vivid verses about struggle, survival, and ambition — lines that reflect his roots and the hardships he’s survived. After that, Joyner Lucas picks up on themes of betrayal, pain, and the heavy weight of success.

The song comes with a gritty, cinematic video directed by Trevor Finney — set in the neon-lit chaos of New York City’s Times Square. In the visuals, Conway and Joyner walk through crowds, flanked by their crews — the hustle, the vibe, the tension — all playing out against a backdrop that mirrors their lyrics: glamorous on the surface, but with darker undertones.

For Conway, this collaboration isn’t just another feature — it’s a statement. It underscores how far he’s come: from a tough neighborhood in Buffalo, from survival, from mixtapes, to solo albums, to now standing shoulder-to-shoulder with mainstream artists — while still hanging onto the gritty authenticity that first got him noticed.

He’s no longer just part of a collective or a label orbit. He runs his own show. He builds on his own terms. And with tracks like “Sticks & Stones”, he shows he still has plenty to say.
