Tory Lanez To Release “Free Tory Playlist” Updated Weekly From Prison

Tory Lanez is ready to release new music, even though he is currently behind bars.

On Wednesday (July 24), the Canadian musician shared plans to record and drop songs from prison, revealing the news on social media to his fans, which he refers to as the “umbrellas.”

“After about 20-something to 30-something f**k-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,” explained the 31-year-old via an audio message. The words were accompanied by text captions clarifying his message over a prison phone graphic.

“It’s over. I done cracked the f**king code, man. This means that not even these prison walls can stop me from dropping new music. It’s crazy!” 

He continued to detail, “I’m dropping the all-new Free Tory playlist, it’s gon’ be updated every week, with new music that I’m recording in 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!” 

The first of the new music titled Prison Tapes is due on Friday. He last released the Alone At Prom (Deluxe) after teasing the update from behind bars in 2023.

Lanez, né Daystar Peterson is currently serving 10 years behind bars after being found guilty of the 2020 shooting of chart-topping rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Prosecutors initially sought a 13-year sentence for the “Say It” artist due to “a lack of remorse for his actions” and perceived attempts to “humiliate and re-traumatize the victim through his actions and his words.” This was supported by Megan Thee Stallion’s statement at Lanez’s sentencing hearing.

“He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma,” the “Hiss” rapper declared. “He tried to position himself as a victim and set out to destroy my character and my soul […] He lied to anyone that would listen and paid bloggers to disseminate false information about the case on social media. He released music videos and songs to damage my character and continue his crusade.”
