Conway may be one of Shady Recordsā newest signees along with his brother Westside Gunn, but that doesnāt mean heās lost his competitive edge.
In a verse on Statik SelektahāsĀ ShowoffĀ on Shade 45 recently, Con reached into his rhymebook and pulled out some lines from his 2015 mixtape track āThe Mobb,ā where he calls out some of the most feared battle MCs in the game.
āDonāt compare me to these battle rappinā niggas we donāt rap alike / Niggas aināt even half as nice / Iāll slap the life outta your favorite rapper twice / Murda Mook in front of T-Rex / Cut Dizaster in half with a plastic knife / The Calicoe Loaded with Clips ripping through parts of you / Gotta hollow for Hollow, but Iām saving it for Arsonal.ā

DizasterĀ went live on Periscope to respond to the callout, first making fun of the idea of getting cut with a āplastic knifeā and then giving a more serious breakdown of Conwayās skills.

āFirst of all, letās get one thing straight. Aināt nobody in the world who can beat [me],ā he says. āSecond of all, Conwayās dope. Super nice. He probably can beat Calicoe and Mook. I think he could beat them. As far as me, Hollow, Arsonal and Lux? Uggghhhhh maybe Lux. Me, Hollow and Arsonal? Ughhhhh I dunno Conway. I donāt know Doggie!ā

He gives him some credit for staying competitive and shaking things up, but ultimately doubts theyāll ever meet in the ring.
āI donāt think we would ever battle. Iād rather do a collab with cuz but I know heās on his own wave right now,āĀ the L.A.-based battler says.
Conās trash talked battle rap as a whole before on Twitter.

Still, he isnāt just purely talking trash from outside the ring. Heās actually battled in the modern format before, although the audio in this footage from 2014 is so bad that itās tough to determine exactly how well he did.
