First he released If It Bleeds It Can Be Killed, his second collaboration with producer Big Ghost Ltd (who also helmed 2020's No One Mourns The Wicked), and then he put out La Maquina, which came out on Griselda Records and featured some of the label's usual producers (Alchemist, Daringer, JR Swift, etc) and a song with his Griselda groupmates Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher, as well as appearances by 2 Chainz, J.I.D, Ludacris, and more. We've been highly anticipating Conway the Machine's Shady Records debut God Don't Make Mistakes since 2020, and though Conway has now pushed its release to 2022, he did put out two very solid projects in 2021. Pick up the 'Plugs I Met 2' on vinyl and/or get it as part of a vinyl bundle with Nas, DMX and Czarface, and other Benny LPs too.Ģ4 Conway the Machine - La Maquina & If It Bleeds. It may be brief, but it's some of his best stuff yet. Later in 2021, Benny released the quick-and-dirty Pyrex Picasso EP, and it's even more fired-up. He's joined by appearances from Fat Joe, 2 Chainz, French Montana, Jim Jones, and more, and as he did on the first Plugs, Benny brings out the most menacing side of all of his guests. Harry Fraud incorporates more of a modern production style than the producers on Plugs 1 did, but he still largely provides a dark, head-nod-inducing backdrop that recalls the glory days of mid '90s New York boom bap, and Benny's bars are sharp enough to rival the greats of that era. It's the sequel to 2019's The Plugs I Met, which remains one of the best Griselda-affiliated releases, and it's cut from the same raw cloth as the first one. And this year, it was revealed that, around the same time he recorded that album with Hit-Boy in California, he recorded The Plugs I Met 2 with Harry Fraud in Brooklyn. Last year, Benny the Butcher released his most polished project yet with Burden of Proof. 29 Benny the Butcher - The Plugs I Met 2 / Pyrex Picasso Black Soprano Family
