After clashing earlier this month, Conway the Machine and Funkmaster Flex have buried the hatchet with the “RIP Steve Smith” freestyle.
“Last week me and Conway had some words!” the DJ wrote alongside the song, which he shared on YouTube. “I sent him a track…He accepted the challenge and here we are! Rest in peace to Steve Smith! I thought it was right to name it that since Steve Smith was the creator of the all day hip-hop format and this freestyle is hip-hop!”
Rapping over Biz Markie’s 1988 track “Nobody Beats the Biz,” Conway gasses himself up and slyly boasts about signing to Eminem’s Shady Records for “millions.”
“Look, I’m one of the illest new n***as they comin’ across/All the other ill n***as is everyone in my squad,” the Griselda rapper spits, effortlessly gliding over the minimal instrumental. “Y’all better go do your homework assignments/N***a said he don’t fuck with us, do you know he was lying?”
