Tory Lanez says releasing an album from jail is a "really crazy task"

While on a call with Full Send Podcast's Kyle Forgeard, Tory Lanez talked about his upcoming album, which he said was a "really crazy task" to take on considering that he is still currently in jail. Talking about working on the new album from prison, he said:

"I'm more than capable. Even though this is a very—a very crazy task that has never ever been done... This is, you know everybody who says, 'Yo, we've done music from prison or we've done music from jail,' usually it's like this over the phone sh*t-sounding like, 'Yo, this sucks...' That's not what I'm doing here."

Tory Lanez claimed that the album he's putting out while in jail is "the first ever, in real-time prison album," made by a prisoner while in jail going through his prison sentence in real time for prisoners like him. He further teases what fans can expect in the new album, saying:

"It's professional. It's going to sound like a Tory Lanez album but...just a pain is there."

The Canadian rapper-singer further teased that his album will depict a lot of his emotions, including his hunger, his tears, and his cries while serving his jail time.
