Conway The Machine is coming from the future — and he’s not here to negotiate.

The Buffalo rapper dropped a new single and official video, “Sarah!,” on Friday, Nov 13, and the visual is a full-on Terminator homage. Conway is beamed in from the year 2126 into present-day Denver, hunting down targets like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800. The title tips the hat to the films’ heroine, Sarah Connor.

The track is produced by Conductor Williams, one of the most in-demand beatmakers in modern rap, and it runs a tight 3 minutes 31 seconds. It’s the second preview single from OTIS — short for “Often Times I Suffer” — Conway’s next album, due November 20 via Drumwork Music Group under license to Roc Nation Distribution. The first preview, “Diggwutumsayn!,” dropped October 30 and sits at track 5; “Sarah!” is track 4 on the 11-song album.

Conway teased the record during his November 9 performance at Milan’s Gate, and the rollout is moving fast: the official video passed 26,000 views in its first eight hours on the ConwayTheMachineVEVO channel.

The album tracklist also promises heavyweight company — Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and Method Man on “Lupita!” and Kool G Rap on “Cobra!” — but “Sarah!” itself is a solo mission, Conway alone in the frame with Conductor’s drums behind him.

Toledo angle: Conway is Buffalo’s own, a Griselda cornerstone whose street-level lyricism has built one of the most loyal fan bases in hip-hop — the kind of artist Toledo rap fans have ridden with since the mixtape days. If OTIS lands the way “Sarah!” suggests, November 20 is circled on a lot of calendars around here.
