Tory Lanez Includes His Oldest Lost Tape Yet In Latest Installment To The Playlist

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans may be missing the “Prison Tapes” from Tory Lanez, but he’s still chugging along with the “Lost Tapes”, thankfully. Sure, they may just be official rereleases of tracks that have been floating around the internet. But it’s nice to have them all in one place if you are a music junkie. Throughout this weekly drop pattern, there have been some themes and firsts. This week, Tory is rapping about some celebrities and he’s also leaving off his oldest “Lost Tape” yet. The titles are “Tim Duncan”, which is a recording from 2015 and was a part of the Fargo Fridays run that started in 2014.

The other is “Teyana”, and this one was laid down in 2013. The cool thing about these reissues is that we get to hear what sort of mindset the Canadian was in, but also the sounds he was playing around with. At least for us, “Tim Duncan” was a memorable track from that Fargo Fridays era thanks to Tory’s hungry rapping over the sped up and slowed down portions of the five-minute record. Like most weeks during this Free Tory Playlist run, he’s been flexing his duality. So, giving us a more R&B cut like “Teyana” was to be expected. The cool history with this one was that it was his way of shooting his shot at Ms. Taylor. She would respond on her song, “Dreams”, saying she was taken.

“Tim Duncan (Lost Tapes 2015)” & “Teyana (Lost Tapes 2013)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Tim Duncan”:

I got big scales all up in the trap house
A b**** from Rexdale trappin’ out my dime house
I got a Nextel trappin’ out my dime house
Yeah, whip a hundred bricks just like a hundred load
I got two hundred b****es fuckin’ in a bungalow
I got two sisters doin’ s*** that they ain’t done before

Tory Lanez Is Stuck On Past Flings On “Time Away” & “Topless In Miami”

September 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez fans definitely shed a few tears about a week and a half ago when he announced the temporary end to the “Prison Tapes”. The Canadian rapper/singer hybrid had his cell raided and during the search, any and all recording equipment was swiftly taken. Fans were quick to the point the finger at Roc Nation (Megan Thee Stallion’s management) for being behind this. Just a day later, Tory Lanez took to Instagram with a lengthy letter to his supporters to confirm the initial reports. “My cell was not raided and trashed because I learned how to record myself in prison or because I created ‘The Prison Tapes’. I was shut down because the ‘HIGHER UPS’ figured out what I was really doing with ‘The Prison Tapes’ and how many inmates were being helped in a life changing way because of them”.

Despite this massive setback and the unknown future surrounding these charitable tracks, he’s still providing “new” music. “The Lost Tapes” are still going strong, as evidenced by last week and now this weekend too. For this Thursday and Friday, Tory Lanez is back with two love cuts, “Time Away” and “Topless in Miami”. The former is a 2019 leftover, and the latter comes from one of his peak years in 2016. Both songs tell supposedly real past relationships and the good times that he had with each one. Overall, they don’t have a lot of lyrics in the literal sense, but they still bring solid vibes despite the short run times. Give them a spin below.

“Time Away (Lost Tapes 2019)” / “Topless In Miami (Lost Tapes 2016)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Topless in Miami”:

Topless in Miami
Shawty from the breeze so I took her where it’s sandy
She can hit the Grammy’s
Just for being bad, sorry you don’t understand me, no
Every time, my favorite time
Wait in line to make you mine, yeah

Casanova Reveals Tory Lanez Sent Him Money During His Federal Case

September 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Casanova and Tory Lanez don’t have much of a musical history together. They only collaborated on the 2019 single “2am,” but their careers have followed similar tragic patterns. The rapper and singer have been sentenced to over a decade in prison. Casanova for racketeering and narcotics charges, Tory Lanez for first degree assault with a firearm. Casanova recently shed light on his situation via social media, and he revealed that there is actually another link between him and Lanez.

Apparently, Tory Lanez helped Casanova out financially during his federal case. The latter claimed that Lanez gave him a sizable chunk of money during his trial, since he was unable to go out and make any money of his own. He did this despite being in the midst of a trial himself. “@ToryLanez you one of the realest n**gas I ever met,” Casanova wrote on his IG Story. “How you in jail looking out for a n**ga in jail.” Casanova then claimed that Lanez set up him up financially for a year without asking for a lot in return.

“Sent me enough money to last me for a whole year lol,” the rapper added. “I love ya heart, I love ya soul. Free us til you see us!” This appreciation was a far cry from the interaction that Casanova and Lanez had back in 2022. The former rolled up on the latter at a club in New Jersey and approached him, announcing that Lanez was “outside.” The Toronto singer looked spooked until he realized it was Casanova making these claims. There was also some speculation that there may be drama between Casanova and Lanez due to the fact that Casanova is signed to Roc Nation. This is the same record label that Lanez’s victim, Megan Thee Stallion, is on.

Casanova and Tory Lanez are going to be behind bars for a long time. Casanova was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison, while Lanez was sentenced to 10 years. Lanez has tried to stay active by starting the Prison Tapes series, but it was cut short when his recording material was confiscated. He later blamed the confiscation on the fact that he was “helping” other inmates. “They figured out what I was really doing with the Prison Tapes,” he said on IG. “And how many inmates were being helped in a life-changing way because of them.” Casanova can seemingly attest to Lanez’s ability to help inmates.

Tory Lanez Keeps His Playlist Alive With “Time” & “Look No Further” Lost Tapes

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a rough few days for Tory Lanez and his fans. On Monday, September 9, reports came through that his prison cell was raided. During that search, any sort of recording equipment was confiscated, putting his Prison Tapes in immediate jeopardy. If you haven’t been following the Canadian rapper’s activity lately, he’s been recording new songs in real time behind prison walls. He’s been compiling them into a Free Tory Playlist for just over two months now. Then, a couple of days later, the rapper/singer penned a message revealing that the worst was true and that they are not going to be happening “until further notice”.

Even though his good deeds for both listeners and his fellow inmates alike are on hold, he’s still getting music out there. Yesterday and today, Tory Lanez added new songs to the playlist and those are “Look No Further” and “Time”. Both are Lost Tapes and are from 2016. Additionally, each come from his FARGO FRIDAYS run he started back in 2014 and concluded in 2017. Some of the songs during this stretch were released onto streaming such as “Acting Like”, “I Sip”, “Diego”, “Traphouse”, and more. Now, both “Look No Further” and “Time” are getting that same love.

“Look No Further” & “Time” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Look No Further”:

Gotta know that we be flippin’ dope
The coppers is on corners watching so we getting ghost
But it’s you on top of my mind when I’m in the corner hustling
With all of my n****s you gotta know I got to hit the folks
But look, you knew the vision, I gotta hustle the dream
My n****s hustle and scheme

Tory Lanez Prison Cell Raided Following “Prison Tapes” Success

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

These last two months have been extremely good for Tory Lanez and his fans. Well, in the case of the Canadian rapper, about as solid as they will probably be. The incarcerated MC has been dropping multiple tracks per week thanks to his creative release schedule. Up until July 24, the multi-talent had been unleashing some old tracks throughout his career that never got to see the light of day at the time of their recording. They were labeled as “Lost Tapes”. However, Tory decided to compile all of these songs into one playlist known as the “Free Tory Playlist”.

However, that wasn’t the full extent of it. On IG, he would go on to announce —via prison phone call— that he was going to record new songs from his cell, calling them “Prison Tapes”. Overall, his fanbase has been eating up these tracks, with a handful them cracking the top 10 most popular category on his Spotify account. Sadly, though, they may be no more, according to DJ Akademiks’ akademikstv sub-brand.

Tory Lanez Fans Are Convinced Roc Nation Had Something To Do With It

A source close to Tory revealed that he had his prison cell raided. During that, they confiscated any potential recording equipment, which obviously puts all of this in serious jeopardy. Immediately, tons of his fans are jumping to the conclusion that Roc Nation (Megan Thee Stallion’s management team) conducted this. “ROC Nation working OT rn”, one IG user jokes. “Someway some how this is Megan’s fault”, another quips. There is almost assuredly going to be more to follow on this, so stay tuned for more.

What are your thoughts on Tory Lanez’s cell being raided? Are you buying into his fanbase’s theory that Roc Nation was up to this? Do you think that he will end the “Prison Tapes” or will he find a way to release more music? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Tory Lanez Opts For Dancehall/Latin Sounds On “TOCA” & “Eediot Bwoy” Singles

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since the beginning of this Lost Tapes/Prison Tapes/ Twitch Tapes series, Tory Lanez has been giving fans a lot of what we normally expect. That is a lot of trap/R&B cuts which showcase his trademark singing and rapping abilities. However, what we have not received a lot of is genre crossover tracks. Well, if you have been waiting on something like this from the Canadian, this weekend is your lucky weekend. Leading of the September additions to the playlist are “TOCA” and “Eediot Bwoy”. Both are labeled as Lost Tapes, with “TOCA” being a lost recording from 2017 and “Eediot Bwoy” coming out of the year 2020.

For the most part, a lot of the tracks didn’t seem to have a home of any kind. However, one of them this time through is not a loosie. According to a still unreviewed annotation for “TOCA”, this was supposed to be on tape from that same year, assumedly. Tory had been working on an all-Latin music project called El Aqua. However, that sadly hasn’t come to fruition, at least just yet. The person responsible for revealing this information claims it’s still in the works, so we will have to see what happens. Although, with Lanez behind bars for 10 years, that window of opportunity could have shut. We can dream, though. Similarly, “Eediot Bwoy” is another tropical dancehall-esque cut, so its clear there was a theme for this week’s releases. Check them out with the links below.

“TOCA (Lost Tapes 2017)” / “Eediot Bwoy (Lost Tapes 2020)” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “TOCA”:

Ay, mami, baby
Tic-tac, bueno, mi baby
Can’t stop, ay, mami, baby
Tic-tac, bueno, mi baby
Vente, baby
Montate en la nave, ba-baby

Tory Lanez Earns New Gold & Platinum Certifications As An Independent Artist

September 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is dropping a whole lot of music from prison right now, one of two key factors in his continued albeit incarcerated success. Of course, the other factor is just how popular his art remains, as evidence by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) handing him new certification plaques for various sales milestones as of Wednesday (August 28). Moreover, these are a Gold certification for the album Alone At Prom, a triple Platinum certification for the song “The Color Violet,” and a Gold plaque each for the songs “Hurts Me” featuring Trippie Redd and Yoko Gold, “Lavender Sunflower,” and “Lady Of Namek.” All of these releases came out independently via Umbrella Records.

Furthermore, this adds to Tory Lanez’s other impressive streaming and sales achievements as of late while he completes his prison sentence. For example, the aforementioned “The Color Violet” became the first song to reach over a billion streams across all platforms without any editorial playlist support at all. He is now the first artist to achieve a goal of this fashion, and probably feels incredibly grateful for his fans’ continued support. Say what you will about the Canadian creative’s crimes and statements, but his art continues to resonate.

Elsewhere, Tory Lanez is also making some big life changes while in jail, such as finishing high school and pursuing a college education. I’m great,” he told Adin Ross during a recent phone call. “I know that a lot of people sometimes when they hear prison or they hear somebody’s down, they think n****’s in the corner somewhere bawling his eyes out. […] A n***a just graduated high school, enrolled in college. Never thought I’d do that. But I’m taking this moment and I’m taking advantage over everything that’s good. I’m a f***ing high school dropout that just graduated high school. That s**t matters to me. So, it’s the small things that just have me feeling good about life right now.”

All in all, this is a part of the process of Tory Lanez “bettering [himself] in every single way” after landing “in a great space mentally.” There’s still a lot of speculation over what really happened in the Megan Thee Stallion case, but at least he’s not stressing out too much over it. At least, that’s what we see in the public eye. This focus on self-betterment, accountability, and perseverant progress is much more important than trying to change history.

Tory Lanez Treats Fans To Three New Tracks For His Prison Tapes Pack

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is already putting in so much work while behind bars. So, as fans, we are extremely appreciative that his going above and beyond this week. If you haven’t been keeping up with his musical output as of late, the rapper and singer has been dropping a two-piece every weekend for over a month. It’s all for his new Prison Tapes series/playlist, and it originally started with him uncovering some old recordings throughout multiple eras in his career.

He’s still doing that, but as of late Tory Lanez has been putting in extra hours to record new material while in prison. Making things even more impressive is that the quality of the tracks is up to snuff with artists who have the benefit of recording in an actual studio. It seems that each Tory fan has their favorite set of tracks from these weekly releases, and ours might be this one. This time through, he’s delivering a never before seen three-pack. “Appellate Court Freestyle”, which features AWOL$, “Tommie’s Interlude”, and “Basement” are the titles. The first is probably out favorite and arguably features Lanez’s best rapping performance as he airs out his stresses, his views on the double standards in society and more.

“Appellate Court Freestyle” / “Tommie’s Interlude” / “Basement” – Tory Lanez & AWOL$

Quotable Lyrics From “Appellate Court Freestyle – Prison Tapes”:

I need a deal at A to Z and right now it’s at A to X
As an ex-ex concernеd about who’s playin’ next
And then my next probably concеrned about who’s playing text
I’m in the scouts like, f*** it, who gon’ play next
That decision right there way too heavy to stress
But let’s talk about stress, I got whole labels gettin’ at me

Tory Lanez Grabs His First Feature For The Latest Prison Tapes Installment Of “580 Benz” & “Rodeo Drive”

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is doing a couple of firsts this time around for his weekly “Prison Tapes Playlist”. Usually, the Brampton, Ontario native is giving us Lost Tapes or tracks recorded behind bars. For week number eight, we are getting one of the latter, that being “580 Benz”, and a “Twitch Tapes”, which is “Rodeo Drive”. According to Genius, “Rodeo Drive” was recorded on a live stream on the popular platform back on May 8, 2022. These “Twich Tapes” aren’t anything new necessarily, however, this is the first of its kind to see an official release. Also shaking things up a bit is the first cut we mentioned, “580 Benz”. Tory Lanez and his production team were able to coordinate a feature for this record.

That guest is HollywoodSos another Canadian rapper who appears to have some affiliation with Lanez’s independent label, One Umbrella Records. “First person I’m ever gonna feature on a prison tape is my older brother @itshollywoodsos”. He could just be talking about a friend, but if this is a family member, that’s a cool moment for Tory. However, after that part of the caption on his IG Story, Lanez posed a question to his fans. “Who else should I feature on these prison tapes?”. People were quick to give some suggestions on social media and a lot of them are previous collaborators. One user replies, “We need Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Trippie Redd, Yoko Gold, a boogie features”. What do you think? Be sure to leave your thoughts below and check out “580 Benz” and “Rodeo Drive” with the links.

“580 Benz” / “Rodeo Drive” – Tory Lanez & HollywoodSos

When you come stay the night with me
Hit it long, but I go slow with you
Shawty lavish and don’t know, she reminds me of
Rodeo Drive is

Tory Lanez Gets Arrogant On “Featherweight” & Melodic On “F&V” For His Prison Tapes Playlist

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is back for week number seven of his new “Prison Tapes” playlist as he drops off “Featherweight” and “F&V”. As with all of these two-packs, the Canadian rapper is showing off his duality as an artist. On “Featherweight”, Tory Lanez is giving you his more confident and aggressive spitting. Contrastingly, on “F&V”, which stands for “F*** & Vibe”, the Brampton resident if getting into his more sexy and sensual side. Him going in this direction each week is a smart move, as he knows his fanbase is nearly split on which lane he excels the most in. However, we believe that “Featherweight” clears “F&V” and by quite a longshot as well.

Overall, both singles are fairly repetitive, but “F&V” is almost too one-note. The chorus repeats, “She just wanna f*** and vibe, f*** and vibe, f*** and vibe, oh“, 16 times. `The storyline he presents here is woman who’s running away from her problems by going out to nightclubs and getting into it with tons of sexual partners. It’s not as compelling or captivating as “Featherweight”. Here, Tory lets everyone know around him who’s the big fish. “Jumpin’ outside of that orange and red Ferrari, I look like a Cheez-It / N****, you know as soon as the beef lit, it ain’t no peace-in“. It’ll be interesting to hear the debate around the tracks this time around, so we want to hear what you think of them, and which one your favorite is.

“Featherweight” & “F&V” – Tory Lanez

Quotable Lyrics From “Featherweight”:

You lil’ n****s are featherweight
Cookingware I get another plate
Ain’t no pardon for you n****s
Pillowtalkin’, saying s*** that I would never say
Superstar when I pull up
Make a b**** hesitate then levitate
