Conway Teases “Forever Droppin Tears” Video
Weeks removed from the release of Conway The Machine’s From King To A God, the project continues to resonate as an album of the year contender. Boasting tracks like “Fear Of God,” “Front Lines,” “Spurs 3,” “Anza,” “Seen Everything But Jesus,” and the emotional climactic cut “Forever Droppin Tears,” From King To A God served as a versatile introduction to Conway’s artistry — not to mention setting the stage for his upcoming major-label debut God Don’t Make Mistakes.
And while that’s set to appear before the end of the year, Conway appears content to keep the focus on his latest effort. In fact, the lyricist recently took to Instagram to reveal that he’s been steadily working on some visuals to “Forever Droppin Tears,” a Rockwilder & Erick Sermon produced tribute to his friend Damani and his mentor DJ Shay. “I wrote this while gettin’ dressed for your funeral,” raps Conway, in a powerful verse dedicated to Shay. “And I hope heaven got a studio / Thinkin’ ’bout all the lives, including mine, that you impacted with this music, bro.”
From the look of it, Conway has been working on the official video to “Forever Droppin Tears,” which finds him returning to where his come-up began. With footage from a few different locations, it seems like the upcoming clip will be relatively straightforward, allowing plenty of focus on Conway’s performance — exactly as it should be, given the emotional nature of the song. Check out some of the behind-the-scenes pictures below, and show some love to one of the year’s most powerful tracks so far.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.

Lisa Jo finds freedom in chaos, breaking the loop on new release “Runnin in Circles”
Lisa Jo’s latest single, “Runnin in Circles,” is a captivating look at spiritual surrender and emotional exhaustion. The song’s painful cycle of self-destruction and setbacks makes it personal but universally relatable. The song is for anyone who’s been stuck in their own patterns, trying to break free from repeating mistakes.
“Runnin in Circles” captures the emotional exhaustion of repeated rock bottoms. Lisa Jo vividly depicts inner conflict and self-sabotage becoming all too familiar and devastating. The song embraces the emotional wreckage of “burning your own house down,” which is raw and honest.
Evolution makes this record strong. “Runnin in Circles” slowly moves toward surrender and release instead of staying in the dark. Lisa Jo explores that difficult yet transformative moment when control passes to something greater. The spiritual element gives the song depth and resonates beyond heartbreak and frustration. The song’s messiness is lovely. Healing isn’t polished here. Lisa Jo accepts the hard truth of growth, the confusion, the setbacks, and the painful realization that change often happens after the emotional bottom falls out.
