Earlier this week, Conway The Machine revealed the tracklist for a new album entitled “God Don’t Make Mistakes,” scheduled for release on Friday, Feb. 25. Twelve tracks are included on the album, including features from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T.I., Beanie Sigel, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Jill Scott, and also others. Including Drumwork signees Jae Skeese and 7xvethegenius.
The Alchemist, Hit-Boy, Daringer, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Beat Butcha, and others are also responsible for production. The Griselda rapper formerly disclosed the same tracklist in July 2021, but the updated version now features Beanie Sigel.
Conway’s Album Featuring Lil Wayne Attributes To 2 Chainz
A Complex interview with Conway The Machine in November 2021 credited 2 Chainz for getting him a feature from Lil Wayne. In addition, it ultimately led to his collaboration with Rick Ross.
“I definitely gotta thank my bro 2 Chainz, man,” Conway revealed. “2 Chainz is a real dude. I got reached out by Wayne’s camp. Like, Mack Maine and them n***as reached out, but they told me like, ‘2 Chainz was playing me your s**t, bruh. I f**k with your s**t.’ But I had never met 2 Chainz or had a conversation with him on the phone or nothing. It’s just ill to know that there’s dudes that still do shit like that.”
He continued,
“And shit just hit me like, ‘Yo, let me hit these n-ggas, I got something for you.” Wayne sent the verse probably that same night or next morning. After that, I was like, ‘Send that sh-t to Rozay,’ just joking around. And Rozay sent that shit back by the next morning the same way. N-ggas look at them n-ggas in high regard when it comes to this music shit. And this rap sh-t, and just everything n-ggas stand for.”
Conway’s Contract With Shady Records
Furthermore, from the standpoint of his current contract, “God Don’t Make Mistakes” is Conway The Machine’s first and only album on Eminem’s Shady Records. The tracklist includes the recent singles “Piano Love” produced by Hit-Boy and “John Woo Flick” produced by Daringer and Kill.
In August 2020, Conway The Machine appeared on The Bootleg Kev Podcast. He discussed how Eminem allowed him to express himself independently on the album.
“I’ve played God Don’t Make Mistakes for him in Detroit,” he said. “I went to his studio in Detroit, and I played it for him and Paul [Rosenberg], and he had nothing to say. Everything was like, ‘Yo, this shit is crazy.’ I’ve never ever heard any feedback like, ‘Yo, nah, do this, change that. I think you should rap on this beat or do this.’ Never. So I feel like he wants us to just do what we do.”
