In a year full of heavyweights sparring for lyrical supremacy, Conway The Machine, with his razor-sharp delivery and unapologetic street storytelling, cemented his status among hip-hop’s elite with the release of “Gold BBS’S.”
Conway already set the tone with “LULU,” his Alchemist-produced project, and wasted no time in proving he’s sharp as ever. “Gold BBS’S” is a lesson in gritty lyricism, and it vividly depicts rungs of street culture, ambition, and survival, all dispatched with Conway’s rawness of a shotgun blast.
What distinguishes Conway is not simply his penchant for hard-hitting bars but the conviction that accompanies every bar. His voice packs an authority of experience as each line feels lived-in, and every bar is a seasoning of the struggle and success that made him. With “Gold BBS’S,” he proved his technical skills put his money where his mouth was and cemented himself as one of the top lyricists of 2020.
However, with hip-hop’s continuously fluctuating landscape, Conway The Machine has been a stronghold of consistency. His chemistry with top-tier producers was proven on “LULU,” but “Gold BBS’S,” maintained his dominance. If there was any doubt about his status in the game, this track wiped it away. With bars sharper than ever and a relentless work ethic, he undeniably impacted 2020’s hip-hop scene.
