Tory announced the rerelease is emotional fashion.

The theme for Tory Lanez in 2024 has been to revisit the good ole' days. What we mean is that the Canadian rapper, singer, and producer has treated longtime fans to some of his older works that never got official releases. It started in early July with him dropping off "Lost Tapes" from various points in his over 10-year career. Just a few weeks later, Tory decided to give all of these songs a home on his "Free Tory Playlist", which he announced via a prison phone call. In addition to that, "The Color Violet" MC would reveal that he was going to include some new songs from behind bars via the "Prison Tapes". Sadly, they are currently discontinued until further notice. But this setback hasn't deterred Tory Lanez because he's still giving the people what they want with material like Lost Cause.

OG supporters will know what this is. But for those that don't, this a 2014 mixtape that also never got to see the light of day on DSPs. It's one of his earliest projects and in listening to it, you can certainly see how this helped lay the groundwork for what we know Tory's sound to be today. That being the mixture of rap and R&B with some hints of alternative R&B. Lanez announced its rerelease in pretty emotional fashion on IG earlier this week by thanking Trina for helping make his music dreams reality. Check out the 10-year-old release (as of October 1), now.

Zachary Horvath is one of the Music Freelance News Writers at HotNewHipHop and has held that title since August 2023. Prior to this position, he held another freelance gig covering local high school football, girls and boys varsity basketball, in addition to recapping Cleveland Cavaliers games remotely. He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
