Yeah, if only we could cop (or even listen) to most of Mach's shit. The only way I've been able to hear those knxwledge joints is through Earl & knxwledge's red bull podcast.
I have a playlist of all the Mach verses I can get my hands on, but I'd love to hear his new album in full.
The one album he has on bandcamp for $20 isn't quite on the level of his more recent ish. He's no longer in the GXFR crew, so it'll be interesting where he goes from here.

Con's opening verse on Westside's new project is one of the years best-
Bro, was about to make a post about this today. Conway's verse on Cow is so fuckin dope. Everything Griselda has put out this year has been dope. Only thing I haven't heard is the TGTFG EP.
To your point about Westside, I still kinda prefer him over Conway. He seems like he's kind of the architect behind their whole push over the last year. Also, FLYGODs the best album of the year from anyone in my opinion.
You said Mach Hommy isn't with them any longer? Why's that? Everything on the Don't Scared EP that he did was good.

I first heard Mach on this cut from Conway's album which was also the first time I heard Benny (thought Mach had the worst verse but showed potential)-
Then Flygod dropped and he was featured on there and on another Westside project-
It wasn't until the GXFR Don't Get Scared Now EP dropped that I really took notice as he dropped three incredible verses on what is pound for pound the best project GXFR has released-
Then he released a solo album H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor) and abruptly left the label.
Only problem was the album was only made available through $300 "Pax" that he sold through instagram DM. The Pax included a CD, a candle and some other bullshit and were limited to 187 copies or some shit. I guess several tracks were produced by kxnwldge and he played a couple tracks on the red bull podcast, the album isn't available digitally anywhere and indiv tracks have been taken offline as soon as they've showed up. Really sucks.
it's got some cool shit on it, but is rough around the edges in a few spots
but no mention of HBO anywhere aside from references to buying it from his IG. nothing on youtube, nothing streaming or ripped on any of the usual rap bootlegger sites. nothing on forums or soulseek or Russian internet. only one review of the album that I've seen. either nobody actually bought the thing or this is one of the best efforts to keep something off the web of all time. especially since I think the album was streaming on soundcloud for a short time after it was released.

There were a couple songs streaming on soundcloud initially. After he started selling the PAX thru instagram someone who bought one ripped a few songs to youtube and Mach got pissed. Let everyone know they weren't to be shared and took down the soundcloud and youtube tracks and put up another soundcloud track dissing people for complaining about the high cost of his product.
Only way to hear it at this point it is to find one of the 187 Mach Hommy heads who had $300 they didn't need.

Here's a little Mach Hommy youtube compilation of what I assume are the majority of the tracks from H.B.O., so much heat-
the second vid from this playlist features some Hus Kingpin/Marvelous Mag tracks that he's featured on. "Jealousy" and "Gotham Goblins"

Can't post it here because Mach's insta is restricted, but he just put a picture up last night with him and Ka meeting somewhere. Fingers crossed

I don't understand what you're asking. If you want a new thread start a new thread

I'm asking if we can move the last several posts from this thread to start a new Mach Hommy thread so they won't be buried in the Conway thread. I could obviously start a brand new one, just didn't want to lose what we had.

Thx drizz
Rhyme 4 Reason- It was right after the GXFR Don't Get Scared Now EP dropped and he released H.B.O. himself over instagram, no explanation for the split.
Last night he put up a pic of him and Earl after posting the one with Ka the night before, moves being made.

Honestly glad he's forming his own lane. He didn't really fit in with The Winners and he was definitely too abstract for GxFR.

One of my favorites right now. I've had no luck getting HBO to this point.
Hated to see him leave Griselda since he was slowly becoming my favorite member, but I can understand him leaving since his music has a lot more depth to it overall.
Hope that next album will be available in some form.

Damn. Really coming around to him.
Don't understand why people are happy with him splitting from Griselda. Understand people here hate on WSG a bit, but he's losing Daringer beats.
Bunch of new random loosies on Youtube right now by the way.

a bunch of these are on his soundcloud now, including two tracks with KNWXLDG
There's an interview at that Soundcloud link that's well worth listening to as well. Mach has a really interesting story and reminds me of when I first starting getting into billy woods' music. I loved both their styles instantly, but also knew there was a lot of lines that weren't hitting me strictly because I didn't get all the references. But you know because of the lines you do understand that they ain't wasting words so it makes you want to dig deeper.
Actually I'd love to hear a collab between the two, I know from backwoodz twitter that woods is a fan of Mach.

did anyone ever post a link to Gnarly Shit, off Knx's page? That might be my favorite (wtf, it's totally gone now)
