Conway The Machine & Joey Bada$$’s ‘Vertino’ is ready for your streaming goals

Conway and Joey team up putting Upstate New York and Brooklyn roots together for a fire audio gem. The song goes hard and sets the bar high for future collaborations.

The track record speaks for itself.  You knew Conway The Machine was going to do it….again; as the Drumwork/Griselda Express slows down for no one. 

Since the release of God Don’t Make Mistakes (2022), commercial breakthroughs have become the norm for The Machine; and all the while, he’s still been as prolific and revered as ever.  In fact, that balance was never more apparent than in 2023, as it was Conway’s most commercial and critically successful year to date.  In May of 2023, Conway released Wont He Do It (his second consecutive solo-album to top the DSP charts) and with it launched a worldwide tour, he then spun the block with Conway The Machine Presents: Drumwork The Label, Speshal Machinery (with 38 Spesh), Palmero (with Wun Two), Conductor Machine (with Conductor Williams), and most recently Hall & Nash 2 with Westside Gunn & The Alchemist (which also topped the DSP Charts); and contributed standout appearances on Westside Gunn’s And Then You Pray For Me (#1 on DSP’s), Benny The Butcher’s Everybody Can’t Go (#1 on DSP’s), and BadBadNotGood’s “Mint Chocolate,” all in the span of one calendar year.  Conway was also highlighted on Jay-Z’s Favorite Songs Of 2023 Playlist (“Dangerous Daringer” featuring Sauce Walka), and was recently nominated by XXL as a 'Lyricist Of The Year' Nominee. 

After releasing the Cool & Dre produced “Give & Give,” Conway has formally announced Won’t He Do It: Side B with his new single, “Vertino,” which features Joey Bada$$.  Conway and Joey go “God Level,” on “Vertino,’ leaving no question they are “the main suppliers of the fire.”  “Vertino” is produced by Camouflage Monk and is now available at all DSP’s.

The release date, guest appearances, and production lineup for Won’t He Do It: Side B will be revealed shortly.
