Conway the Machine — The Missing Bricks EP


Conway's latest extended play is released in autumn 2021 exclusively on vinyl by the Dutch label de Rap Winkel Records, which is making a name for itself among independent labels on the underground hip-hop circuit. Finally, after months the tape arrives on the internet: six songs enclosed in just over twenty minutes, in which the rapper delivers bars with energy on alternately trap (with influences from the drill scene) and boom bap beats, together with guests such as Bun B, Trae the Truth, Nique, 2 Chainz and Elijah Hooks. The musical choices are provided by Cardiak, Rick Hyde, Trizzy Williams, Beat Butcha and Murda Beats. It's a good project made up of solid melodic productions and great performers, it documents the MC's ability to effectively siege different types of rhythms, and is more oriented towards trap productions, so it may disappoint boom bap die-hard stans. 7/10.
