On âIf It Bleeds It Can Be Killed,â his second full length collaboration with producer Big Ghost LTD., Buffalo rapper and founding member of Griselda Records Conway the Machine continues to carry the torch of classic, throwback rap into the modern era. Supported by stellar beat-making from Big Ghost LTD., the album stands tall among the Griselda catalogue and sees Conway in peak lyrical form.
Conway and the rest of the Griselda lineup have been on a hot streak â releasing nine projects in 2020 among the five official members â with no end in sight. 2021 will mark the fulfilment of Griseldaâs contract with Eminemâs Shady Records following the 2020 release of âWho Made the Sunshineâ from Griselda Records president Westside Gunn and upcoming Conway record âGod Donât Make Mistakes,â which is rumored to drop at the end of February.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Rapper and Buffalo native Westside Gunn is set to open a Buffalo Kids store at the Walden Galleria.
This will be the first brick and mortar location for Buffalo Kids, which has an assortment of Buffalo sports T-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys. It will be on the lower level near Starbucks.
Buffalo Kids was founded by Gunn and other local rappers Conway the Machine (his brother) and Benny the Butcher (his cousin).
In 2014 Gunn founded Griselda Records and clothing brand Fashion Rebel. In 2017 Griselda Records signed a music deal with Eminem Shady Records, a subsidiary of Interscope, putting the Buffalo natives on the national hip-hop radar. In 2019 Gunn and Benny the Butcher signed a management deal with Jay-Z s Roc Nation.
Throughout his prolific career, Buffalo native Conway the Machine has earned his place among the elite class of living MCs, as he blurs the lines between underground acclaim and mainstream success.
