This album marked the second solo collaboration (and third collaborative effort overall) between highly decorated Griselda captain/Drumwork founder Conway the Machine, and mysterious underground production phenom Big Ghost Ltd. After the critical successes of both Griselda Ghost (along with Westside Gunn) and No One Mourns The Wicked, it seemed like a no-brainer that the two would likely team up once again. The results this go round were a more ambitious beat selection, and topics ranging from personal loss to mental health struggles to lifelong regrets. Of course, no Conway album would be complete without him shooting up some spots, putting holes in animate objects, and being a general menace to society, and La Maquina is more than happy to oblige. Album guests include frequent Roc Marciano collaborator Knowledge The Pirate, lyrical heavyweight Ransom, and eventual Griselda signee Rome Streetz, as well legendary turntablist D Styles providing characteristically mind-bending scratches on several of the songs.
