Definitely. In all fairness, it's never technically been pushed back because it's never had a release date.

Conway was on Rap Radar yesterday and confirmed that finally the album has been mixed, mastered, submitted, and approved by Shady. He said he's wanting it to drop mid-late October, since in his mind this one here and that one are basically one double-album just released staggered.

I've heard a lot of behind-the-scenes drama about it (lots of sample clearance problems that took a long ass time to iron out), but knowing that it's turned in and finalized makes me very confident we'll get it this year.

Here's a tracklist.

1. Wallo Talks (Intro)
2. Lock Load (prod. Daringer)
3. Piano Love (prod. Alchemist)
4. John Woo Flick (Spray 80) (feat. Benny & Westside Gunn) (prod. Daringer)
5. Can’t You Be (feat. A Boogie & Jeremih) (prod. Hitmaka)
6. Born Rich Die Richer (prod. WondaGurl)
7. Courtside At Barclays (prod. Beat Butcha)
8. Babas (ft. Keshia Plum) (prod. Daringer)
9. Wild Chapters (feat. T.I.) (prod. Hit-Boy)
10. Bessies Fair (prod. 9th Wonder)
12. Serena Vs Venus (prod. 9th Wonder)
13. Stress (prod. Daringer)
14. You The One (prod. AraabMuzik)
15. God Don’t Make Mistakes (prod. Alchemist)
16. The Cow (feat. Westside Gunn) (prod. Daringer) (BONUS)



I don't expect it before Halloween, but we should have it this year for sure. It's been finally approved by Shady, and is fully mixed and mastered.

I’m guessing Em won’t be on the Shady debut, unless it’s last minute. Maybe he’s waiting for a verse to clear or something. That would help him gain more attention like that Bang song but people hated his verse.

Bang and City on the Map were meant for it but no more. I think that was it man. The interviewers that have heard it in full mostly mention TI’s feature. It’s more introspective than this one, so he implied he wanted to have less features on it. I think Rapsody, Q, and Anderson Paak were all on there at one point too, but no more.

Yea I remember reading about how they were both on the debut, I can see the track list changing though just like this project. I notice he makes last minute changes, like the Drake & Banks features. That Tear Gas record with Wayne and Ross leaked that was also supposed to be on here too.

I tried to send a DM but it wouldn't let me. I talked to a few people that worked on FKTAG and GDMM and used to A&R a bit. I think it's been interesting for a lot of people to see tracklist changes and stuff, because dude basically just has been getting drunk and letting people see a normal creative process for a lot of artists. Like, I think Banks was always supposed to be on Juvenile Hell, but he just played versions of it before that happened.

Supposedly West and Benny have been getting annoyed at him for getting drunk and playing full albums for people that aren't out yet. Or at least annoyed at him when he plays joints they're featured on. It's also weird 'cause usually artists work on one project at a time. When Conway is working on multiple projects at once and being his own A&R, we see tracks vanish or sometimes shuffle around. One one hand it's interesting, and I used to A&R so I think it's cool. But on another hand the final product isn't as cool when you see behind the curtain.

Either way it’s gonna be interesting to see who will be on the debut. At least we got this project to hold us over.

Anza is the only misstep on here :wow:

Best project he's dropped since Blakk Tape and its killing that

Besides the Armani verse which is easy to skip, I fukk with Anza. :yeshrug: I like the church organs and the bouncy drums.

I wish I liked Blakk Tape more than I do. It's so dark without much change up in vibe, and there's no features. The skits are dark. Even the cover is dark, literally. I think it's his bleakest and most depressing sounding project. I like it in the winter if I'm in a real dark mood, but I can't listen to it at all in the spring or summer time.

When I do listen to it, I like it. I just gotta be in the mood for some :demonic: rap
