Tory Lanez announced that he will release an album in 2025

Tory Lanez seems to be persistent in recording music behind bars. As per Hot New Hip Hop, the rapper announced that he will release a full-length album in 2025. As per the website, he said:

“PARTYNEXTDOOR showed his best work of 2025; Drake showed his best work of 2025. The Weeknd showed his best work of 2025, now it’s time for me to come out.”

Tory had previously collaborated with The Weeknd and PND on songs like Best Friends and Leaning respectively. He also revealed on social media that he will be collaborating with the two more often.

Drake has been an ardent supporter of Lanez’s release from prison. While appearing on a livestream with Adian Ross in December, Drizzy called for him and Lil Durk to be freed. Drizzy had also taken to his Instagram account to give a shoutout to Tory’s track Handling Business.

Previously, Lanez also took to social media to address his recording equipment being confiscated. He said:

“My cell was not raided and trashed because I learned how to record myself in prison. [It] was shut down because the HIGHER UPS figured out what I was really doing with The Prison Tapes and how many inmates were being helped in a life changing way because of them.”

Back in August, Tory also revealed while speaking to Adin Ross that he managed to graduate from high school from prison and had also enrolled himself in college.
