Tory Lanez’s “The Godfather” Remains One Of His Best Cuts 10 Years Later

by

This past weekend, Tory Lanez joined Travis Scott in rereleasing a 10-year-old mixtape. For the Canadian it came in the form of dropping Lost Cause onto DSPs. Fans of his know that this project is very important to his catalog, and it’s also one of his earliest. It’s a pretty foundational piece to the singer, rapper, and producer’s identity, and it pretty much helped springboard him to stardom. Besides that, the tape just means a lot to Tory overall. He was struggling financially at that the time and Trina was there to help in so many ways, including with this project. We are happy its officially here and it’s been fun to revisit it.

One of the tracks that we still enjoy thoroughly to this day from Tory Lanez on it is “The Godfather.” It’s a terrific closer and we feel it more than holds a candle to the rest of hits. In addition to it being a great song about his come up, this track also has a cool connection to HNHH. If you aren’t familiar, the site had a huge hand in helping Tory release his “Fargo Fridays” series. “The Godfather” was a track that was a part of that collaboration with us, so it also some sentimental value to us. But bias aside, it’s just a powerful moment in his catalog and an important one at that.

“The Godfather” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics:

We was just some little n****s
On and off the corner, just wanna be a baller
But I was just a little n****, just a little n****
And I hit me a lil’ lick, same day I got rich
Then I drop six hundred, told them b****es, “I’m big homie”
Told them n****s they done turn me to the old me

Tory Lanez Reissues One Of His Foundational Projects In “Lost Cause”

by

The theme for Tory Lanez in 2024 has been to revisit the good ole’ days. What we mean is that the Canadian rapper, singer, and producer has treated longtime fans to some of his older works that never got official releases. It started in early July with him dropping off “Lost Tapes” from various points in his over 10-year career. Just a few weeks later, Tory decided to give all of these songs a home on his “Free Tory Playlist”, which he announced via a prison phone call. In addition to that, “The Color Violet” MC would reveal that he was going to include some new songs from behind bars via the “Prison Tapes”. Sadly, they are currently discontinued until further notice. But this setback hasn’t deterred Tory Lanez because he’s still giving the people what they want with material like Lost Cause.

OG supporters will know what this is. But for those that don’t, this a 2014 mixtape that also never got to see the light of day on DSPs. It’s one of his earliest projects and in listening to it, you can certainly see how this helped lay the groundwork for what we know Tory’s sound to be today. That being the mixture of rap and R&B with some hints of alternative R&B. Lanez announced its rerelease in pretty emotional fashion on IG earlier this week by thanking Trina for helping make his music dreams reality. Check out the 10-year-old release (as of October 1), now.
