9th Wonder’s Jamla Records continues to reach new levels with its talent and exciting releases. Yesterday (November 8) the collective released Jamla Is The Squad II, a sequel to the first project of the same name. Every MC and producer currently with the North Carolina-based label makes an appearance on the compilation, and one of the most ear-catching joints on it is “Machine & McQueen.” Jericho Jackson, an MC/producer outfit consisting of Elzhi and The Away Team’s Khrysis, provide the production and half the rapping on the joint while Griselda Records’ Conway The Machine provides the rest of the MC’ing.

Over a Khrysis grimy instrumentals, Conway comes in with the dirt to match. “Told you it ain’t safe for you / I got a shooter on the chase for you,” he raps on the track. “Took a few thousand out the safe for you / Five bullets in the .38 for you / I know these ni**as ain’t loyal that’s a snake for you / Plug hit me said I got a plate for you / As far as rap I’m Tom Brady, you Blake Bortles.”
