Conway the Machine teases Method Man collaboration before releasing 'From King To A God' album

Conway the Machine posted a cover art on Instagram which combines his and Method Man's logos with a swarm of bees

It looks like Conway the Machine has a surprise in store for fans with a new teaser. The Buffalo rapper took to his social media to tease a new single.

With the same caption on both his Instagram and Twitter accounts, Conway wrote, "Time to heat the streets up again... Y’all ready??" However, he doesn't reveal who he is collaborating with. Instead, the rapper points fans to the single's cover art which features combined Conway and Method Man logos swarmed by killer bees. The new cover art follows a previous teaser shared on July 4 where Method Man's logo is not present.

Fans of Method Man will recognize that a similar bees theme was used in the 1998 compilation album 'The Swarm' by his group the Wu-Tang Clan and their associated act Wu-Tang Killa Beez.

This isn't the first time Conway has teased a collaboration. Earlier in July, the rapper shared a photo the day before sharing the initial cover art and it had him and Method Man standing side-by-side. During that month reports came in that the two may be up to something but their collaboration was never confirmed, so it looks like Conway has been building up anticipation. But we now know that they are working together and their combined music is imminent.

With Conway's new LP 'From King To A God' recorded already, a Method Man-featured track will be the icing. On July 17, Conway confirmed that the upcoming studio album is prepped and ready, tweeting, "FKTG is finally complete... it’s quiet for all these niggas, the summer is MINES!"

A few hours before the announcement, Conway shared how productive this year had been for him so far. "2020 I was on tour until March… and still dropped an album wit alc, album with big ghost, recorded FKTG and finished GDMM (shady Records debut) I’m on wsg p4p & shady album, Gibbs album, Wayne album, flee s**t, Jim Jones s**t, and a gang of other features… and it’s only July," he wrote on Twitter.

'From King To A God' is not the only big project that the rapper has been working on in 2020. Conway sat down with Ebro Darden on Beats 1 in June where he took a moment to provide an update on his upcoming plans. “God Don’t Make Mistakes is the project we doing for Shady, we’re dropping on Shady," he said. The 'God Don’t Make Mistakes' album has been in the works for quite some time already. It will mark the rapper’s debut on Eminem's label Shady Records and will also feature the 'Godzilla' rapper himself. 

"My solo. In the meantime, we still gotta keep mashing the gas. I can’t let up. After LULU, I’m giving you that From A King To A God, then me and Westside Gunn going to give you Hall & Nash 2," he added at the time.

Conway did an Instagram Live session with his fans afterward where he previewed some of the new songs on the album. At one point of the live, he turned his camera around at the computer to show us the tracklist for the LP.
