But before you get in a tizzy, yes he’s still in prison. But that doesn’t seem to be stopping him from making good on his promise to not leave his fans lacking in new music from him. In fact, in an Instagram post on his personal page on Wednesday, Lanez teased just that: an all new playlist featuring new music would be coming on Friday. And not only will it be new music, it’ll be a “Free Tory playlist” slated to be updated every week.
“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,” Lanez can be heard speaking in audio over a graphic of a jail phone in the post. “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!”
“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!” he concluded.
The first single of this playlist, the nearly four-minute-long “Wish I Never Met You (Prison Tapes)“ is available to stream now. Though Lanez doesn’t name any names, he makes reference to watching anime in the bed with a person and regretting the fact that this person came and kissed him, thereby starting their connection.
