Listening to this banger from Conway & Royce Da 5'9" is "Mandatory."

Today, Conway dropped off his new mixtape, The G.O.A.T, which features ten tracks of grimy hip-hop courtesy of Alchemist and Daringer. And while the self-proclaimed "grittiest-of-all-time" rapper has drawn controversy over his album covers, the Shady/Griselda signee has proven to be one of hip-hop's rawest up-and-comers. On album highlight "Mandatory," Conway enlists the considerable talents of Royce Da 5'9" for a lengthy verse, and together the duo cause ruckus over a hazy Daringer instrumental. 

Conway kicks things off with a pair of methodical and menacing verses, rapping hard bars like "keep runnin' your dick-suckas, I'ma pick the fifth up, blick-up your body leave with wounds you can't stitch up." Royce proceeds to hold it down, his machine-gun flow a welcome juxtaposition from Conway's seething menace. "That's what the gorillas did, I'm everything you feel you ain't, assassinate characters like Twitter did to Azealia Banks." If you're looking for something rugged and raw, "Mandatory" should prove a welcome addition to your playlist.

Quotable Lyrics

That's what the gorillas did, I'm everything you feel you ain't,
Assassinate characters like Twitter did to Azealia Banks
