Meanwhile, we have production from Araabmuzik, Play Picasso, C-Sick, Cashmere Cat, Benny Blanco, and more. Like most Tory Lanez major project he like to tell a story and illustrate with lyrical content. You can see the dynamic range and style of him through out the album. So if you like him singing or rapping you shouldn't be disappointed. He references alot of what has happened in his life included him beefing with drake.   “It’s not gonna be as much to take in as the first one. It wasn’t catered to me like that in my head. The way that I did this one is, it still has certain pieces and elements that, you know, if you listened to my old stuff then you will understand where it comes from,” he said. “ It’s less story but it’s more Conflicts Of My Soul. I don’t know if you remember but, how everything transitioned musically, that’s how this is. It’s incredible. It’s just something you gotta listen to. There’s a lot of bars on this for sure, but it’s not like full of rap. It’s full of great music, you know what I mean. But it’s definitely not I Told You. This album will be something different for you to love in a different way and for you to cherish in a different way.” Available now on iTunes, fans can stream the project in its entirety via Apple Music.  My top 5 are B.I.D., 48 Floors, "Hillside" Feat. Wiz Khalifa and Mansa , 4 Me, and B.B.W.W. x Fake Show. Hit play and let us know what record you’re feeling the most?.   Read the full article
