BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Teenagers in Buffalo spent their Saturday with a local celebrity, learning from Conway the Machine about how he turned his life around to become a successful artist.
"We want them to strive for greatness and know that it's more out there and it's attainable," said Conway the Machine.
He's a Buffalo native, rap artist and the co-founder of the hip-hop label Griselda Records.
He met with teenagers at Trust God Ministries on Main Street to show them the path to success.
"Gotta meet the kids where they're at, mentally physically, emotionally," said Bruce Warrick of Trust God Ministries. "They want to come meet Conway and hear his story and hear his voice for once because you don't have that many artists that come out and speak to our youth."
The plan is to have an event like this once a month put together by the Conway Cares Foundation and the Rise in Victory Foundation.
