Conway The Machine: The Danza Project Episode 155

Danza, who was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, had one plan in mind when he started The Danza Project with co-host, and that was to bring in Griselda and help put Buffalo, NY to the forefront.
Just about every episode that has aired since it's inception The Danza Project crew has mentioned Buffalo's own Conway The Machine and on Art Basel weekend in Miami that moment finally came where they were able to sit down for an exclusive conversation.
The Danza Project and Conway the Machine sat down for an exclusive 1-Hour interview prior to Ye's "Vultures" Album listening event and both Danza & Kato not only gave Conway the Machine his flowers but spoke in-depth about the things that mattered to "La Maquina" the most. From his upbringing to music to sports to tragedy to mental health, nothing was left off the table during this exclusive conversation.

Why do they look like blood brothers?

[@anthonydavis7846]

Why did he say Joe Budden? Don't get me wrong he's good I've listened to his mood music mixtapes , but Conway the Machine is like Michael Jordan mixed with Labron, I knew back in 2015 he was gonna be the greatest!! SALUTE

[@TheDanzaProject]

I was a huge Budden fan.

[@anthonydavis7846]

@TheDanzaProject I feel you tho, mine would be Jeru the Damaja, different strokes

[@tuubu9115]

I like some of their music but their beats are outdated

[@SmartMoneySigma13]

The style of beats they use could never be outdated! Classic boom bap can never go out of style.

[@ivtecudont241]

You was lookin for trap beats ? 😂🤭🤔

[@lastcall4111]

Huh?🫤

[@lastcall4111]

Not really sure why some of the real like Conway entertain this host, in my humble opinion this host gives clown vibes, heavy clown vibes.

[@TheDanzaProject]

You sound bitter. Shut your 304 a33 up
