“We was gonna call this shit Won’t He Do It: Side B, but too much label speculation and all that [is] why we can’t use that title no more. So I just switched the shit to Slant Face Killa,” he said. “I know a lot of people been asking in the comments and shit, but that’s really what it is.”
He added: “I don’t wanna give away too much of the info, but yeah, Daringer on that bitch. Alchemist on that bitch. Camoflage Monk on that bitch. Conductor Williams is on that bitch. Yeah, it’s gonna be crazy.”
Conway The Machine announced Slant Face Killa (abbreviated to SFK) earlier this week, revealing the cover art and its May 10 release date.
The artwork depicts a frowning face doodle with a slanted mouth. Fans online speculated that the title refers to Conway’s facial gunshot injury, as well as being an homage to Wu-Tang Clan veteran Ghostface Killah.
The former Griselda rapper has released a couple of singles leading up to the album, including “Give & Give” with Cool & Dre and “Vertino” featuring Joey Bada$$. It’s currently unclear whether both songs will make the cut.
Despite the name change, SFK will still serve as the follow-up to last year’s Won’t He Do It, which boasted features from Benny The Butcher, Juicy J, Fabolous, Dave East, Sauce Walka and Jozzy.

Speaking to Okayplayer following its release, Conway talked about his mindset going into Won’t He Do It.
“With Won’t He Do It I wanted it to be the total opposite [of God Don’t Make Mistakes],” he said. “I didn’t wanna get too deep into the pain of the songs. I didn’t want the sad story. We went from all that to a life of luxury! We’re thankful, we’re blessed, and it’s all a positive mindset now.”
