Tory Lanez Shows Love To Trina For Launching His Career While Announcing Rerelease Of Old Mixtape

October 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Making a massive impact in music is certainly a tall task. If the artist is driven enough, they are going to do everything they possibly can to make their dreams a reality. Sometimes, up and coming artists have to fend for themselves and go lone wolf. For Tory Lanez, it was certainly trending that way for some time. About a decade ago, the Canadian rapper was having to sleep in his old girlfriend’s car and his manager’s couch due to his financial struggles. Unfortunately, Tory’s girl broke things off with him, so he was having to find a new temporary place to stay.

That’s when Trina came through for then young and bubbling talent, according to a recent inspirational IG post (via AllHipHop). For Tory, the story goes, “I remember showing her the song for ‘Godfather’. She looked at me and said, ‘That’s the song that’s going to get you a deal’. She put five bands up and helped me get the video shot. Coincidentally, the same director from that video, shot another video from the project for free. That video ended up being ‘Henny in Hand’. Two months later, Interscope watched both videos and couldn’t believe it was the same person on both songs. That led to me getting signed and the rest was history”.

Because of Trina’s unwavering support and generosity, Tory was able to build out his sound and brand. It’s part of the reason why the now star multi-talent is also revealing the rerelease of the mixtape in which those two songs land on. That project is Lost Cause and it’s coming on October 1, which is the day it turns 10. On top of that incredible news, Tory will also be continuing this reissuing run moving forward. “This will be the first of many classic mixtapes of mine that I will officially release on DSPs now that I am INDEPENDENT!!!”.

The Notorious B.I.G.’s Estate Preps For 30th Anniversary Reissue Of “Ready To Die” With “For The Respect” EP

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s no doubt that The Notorious B.I.G. made one of the most lauded and beloved hip-hop albums of all time with Ready to Die. It’s a pure masterclass in East Coast hip-hop, flows, and production choices. Even though it was released back in 1994, it still sounds quite timeless, which is just another reason why its regarded as a true classic. You could poo-poo this fact, but the album has also been quite successful during the streaming era. It’s got well over a few billion streams overall with iconic tracks such as “Gimme the Loot”, “Juicy”, “Warning”, “Big Poppa”, all over 100 million plays. Over the years, Ready to Die has received a handful of remasters both in 2005 and 2015, respectively. Interestingly, though, his debut project has never received a unique anniversary edition. Life After Death received one for its 25th back in 2022, but now it’s Ready to Die‘s time.

Back in July, multiple reports, including one from Yahoo!, revealed that a special 30th anniversary copy would be released on the 13th of September, the drop date for the original back in ’94. It will be a “limited-edition 2-LP reissue” and “will feature a reimagined cover art featuring a photo of Biggie Smalls, the late Brooklyn rapper’s G subway stop and the Brooklyn Bridge”. There will be a black vinyl available on Rhino which is Biggie’s website. Additionally, “Barnes & Noble will also have a color vinyl edition for sale on the same day”. But before that happens, his estate has released an EP called Ready To Die: For The Respect, which features six tracks from the original.
