The days of Tory Lanez being considered an underground/indie artist are done. After dropping multiple projects in 2016, Lanez made it clear that he’s motivated to reach the top of the music chain. A couple hours into 2017 and he’s already showing even more promise. Last night the SWAVEY army captain dropped two projects, “The New Toronto 2″ and “ChixTape4″. I immediately gave both a listen. While both mixtapes are straight fire I preffered TNT2 because I felt like it really represented the Tory Lanez that burst into mainstream fame. I especially like the intro on the project, “Talk To Me Nice / Fargo Season” because of how musically in-depth the song is. Of course, Lanez gives us his signature auto-tuned sound but in this jam he’s able to do it in so many different ways; wether it’s multi paced rapping or being able to create singing transitions when you least expect it. When I initially saw that the song was almost seven minutes long I worried that it would be too long, but I was actually able to enjoy every second of this jam. The instrumental and lyrics are very trap influenced showcase Lanez’ continuing hunger for more.
