Conway The Machine Previews Heavy “GDMM” Banger
Conway The Machine has already enjoyed a 2020 campaign that might have satisfied a less ambitious rapper, delivering projects like the Alchemist-produced Lulu, the Big Ghost LTD-laced No One Mourns The Wicked, and his most recent album From King To A God. Seeing as the Griselda lyricist is already eying retirement as early as 2021, it stands to reason that he’s looking to go out with an even-more-explosive bang.

Enter God Don’t Make Mistakes, an album that’s been long teased as his most ambitious body of work thus far. Set to be released on Shady Records — his first solo release since signing with Eminem’s label in 2017 — before the end of the year, God Don’t Make Mistakes details have remained under relative wraps. But those who follow Conway on Instagram have likely caught a few snippets from time to time, and yesterday, he shared an extended look at one of the album’s bangers.
“GDMM is a MASTERPIECE,” he captions, alongside a brief video snippet of the untitled track. “I’m losing my marbles, letting my AR go, 50 shot sticks will leave you n***as something horrible,” he begins, over a sinister and methodical beat. “60 on the digi-dash look how fast my car go / talk about my face but can’t say shit about my bars though.” On that note, the relentless flow scheme continues. “Every bullet in the cartridges land, the stick look like a guitar in my hand strummin’ like I’m part of a band.”
Check out the teaser for yourself below, and while it doesn’t provide a clear indication as to when God Don’t Make Mistakes is coming, don’t be surprised to see the project on pace for a 2020 release. And should that be the case, do you think Conway’s self-declared masterpiece has Album Of The Year potential?

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.
