Tory Lanez Represents the New Toronto

Tory Lanez preps for his sophomore album Memories Don’t Die. The self-proclaimed Swavey rapper recently premiered two singles, “Shooters” and “Skrt Skrt.” The production of C-Sick in the cinematic single, “Shooters” compliments Lanez grime inspired lyrics. Appropriately he recently purchased a silver McLaren to cement his status as a foreign staple. The Toronto rapper gained notoriety in 2016 with single, “Say It,” which sample Brownstone’s, “If You Love Me.” Despite known beef with now friend, fellow Canadian rapper Drake, Tory Lanez has made a name for himself in recent years. Performing at both OVO fest and Coachella Music Festival in 2017. Signed to Benny Blanco’s Mad Love Records, he has been strategic about his musical playlist. Last Friday, a single with Future entitled, “Real Things” leaked via the internet. After being removed the single is slotted to heat up the airwaves officially on October 13th. Lanez thrives as a New York transplant, and islander.

The New Toronto is a movement or hip-hop and popular artist who have stormed the scene often rising to the top. Also known as The Six, Toronto has broken away from the days of heavy underground hip hop. Each artist uses a reggae, r&b, and rap formula to rise to the top of pop culture. Tory Lanez is a notable newcomer. Trap Soul flavor has sparked a recent spike in new school r&b. What is Swavey, let me clarify. Swavey is a fusion of genres creating a constant sick or wild flow. The wave of New Toronto is a movement involving the pursuit of feminine passions, booze, and the tranquility triggered by excessive West Indian influences in moderation. A head rush. Overall the wave is an independent euphoria brought on by heavy egos or stark confidence. Tory Lanez did not lose any sauce or steam in his last projects the mix-tapes, Chixtape 4 and The New Toronto 2. Memories Don’t Die is an anticipated essential in every music lovers playlist, as Tory Lanez heats up Toronto.
