Demond Price (born: February 16, 1982), better known professionally as Conway the Machine, is an American rapper known for his music. He is the half-brother of Westside Gunn and the cousin of Benny the Butcher, who are all a part of Griselda Records.
Career[]
At age 23, Price spent some time in jail, which he has cited as a motivation for weaning from a gangster lifestyle to focus on his career in music.
In 2012, he was shot in the neck and shoulder; his face was partially paralyzed, giving him a signature scar.
In 2014, Westside Gunn founded Griselda Records, through which Price and Gunn would self-release their own projects and the works of artists such as Benny the Butcher and Mach-Hommy. In 2015, Price released his first two official mixtape projects through Griselda Records, which were The Devil's Reject and Reject 2. Price and Gunn released two collaborative EPs through London-based record label Daupe!, the first of which was 2015's Hall & Nash, followed by Griselda Ghost in 2016. In April , during Mobb Deep and Smif-N-Wessun's "Hell On Earth" tour, Price was introduced to Prodigy of Mobb Deep, who would become one of his earliest notable collaborators and supporters.
Price released the single "Bang", at the time expected to be the first single from his album God Don't Make Mistakes, alongside Eminem in 2019. God Don't Make Mistakes had been intended to be Price's debut studio album, and Gunn had stated it was "90 percent complete" in 2018; however, Price's first studio album would instead be the project From King to a God, which he released in 2020. During this period, Price continued releasing mixtapes and collaborative albums as well.
Channel[]
Price created his channel on December 29, 2011, and he uploaded his first video on July 24, 2019. He occasionally uploads music videos and audio to his channel.
