Over the years, Rocky and Carti have teamed up on tracks like “New Choppa” and Lana Del Rey’s “Summer Bummer.” Rocky also took Carti on tour in 2019. Today, […]

Stream Conway The Machine’s New Album What Has Been Blessed Cannot Be Cursed
Call me old-fashioned, but I like it when rappers make rap albums. Nothing in this life is certain, but I feel pretty confident when I say that Buffalo beast Conway The Machine will never put out an LP of soft-batch house music. Instead, Conway continues to craft hard scrunch-face shit-talk, and he’s extremely good at […]
