Tory Lanez fans who are currently suffering due to the lack of music because their short king is presently behind bars, we have some good news for you: he is working on new tunes.
Spotted on HipHopDX, Tory Lanez is gearing up to drop new music, even though he is behind bars.
According to the website, the rapper/singer has figured out a way to deliver new tunes without sacrificing quality after announcing that he figured out how to “record in high fidelity from prison.”
Lanez has been dropping songs he has had in the stash throughout July, but now his fans, whom he hilariously calls “umbrellas,” can look forward to new heavily autotuned tracks.
Per HipHopDX:
“After about 20-something to 30-something fuck-ups and mistakes, me and my engineer have finally figure out how to record music over the jail phone and still keep the quality as professional as I had it on the street,” he said in a recorded call posted to his Instagram on Wednesday (July 24). “It’s over. I done cracked the fucking code, man. This means that not even these prison walls can stop me from dropping new music. It’s crazy!
“That being said, I’m about to start dropping hot heaps of coal on y’all head top. I’m dropping the all new ‘Free Tory’ playlist – it’s gon’ be updated every week with new music that I’m recording from prison in real time. This is the first of its kind and although God has already shown me that this moment is only temporary , it speaks testimony to the fact that no matter where they put me they can’t lock down my spirit, my ambition, my soul my passion nor my destiny!”
Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. He is currently trying to appeal the conviction on the grounds of “Erroneous Admission of Evidence” and “Prosecutorial Misconduct.”
His appeal is on hold, allowing prosecutors time to review the defense’s claims.
