Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, was born on July 27, 1992. He is a Canadian singer and rapper who Sean Kingston first discovered. His mixtape “Conflicts of My Soul: The 416 Story,” released in August 2013, brought him initial recognition. In 2015, Lanez signed with record producer Benny Blanco’s Mad Love Records, which is part of Interscope Records.
Lanez‘s debut studio album, “I Told You” (2016), was a commercial success and explored alternative R&B. It included the singles “Say It” and “Luv,” which peaked at numbers 23 and 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Lanez‘s second and third albums, “Memories Don’t Die” and “Love Me Now?” were released in 2018 and achieved commercial success, despite receiving mixed reviews. His fourth album, “Chixtape 5” (2019), peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200, while his fifth album, “Daystar” (2020), peaked at number ten. He then released his 1980s-inspired sixth album, “Alone at Prom” (2021), followed by his seventh, “Sorry 4 What” (2022) before his incarceration.
Despite being incarcerated, Tory Lanez continues to stay relevant in the music industry. He recently paid tribute to the legendary rapper Trina while announcing the re-release of his mixtape. Lanez shared an inspirational story on Instagram about how Trina supported him early in his career. He revealed that he was struggling financially around a decade ago, sleeping in his ex-girlfriend’s car and on his manager’s couch. Trina recognized the potential in his song “Godfather”. She provided $5,000 to help him shoot a video for the track, which ultimately led to his first major record deal with Interscope Records. Lanez expressed his gratitude for Trina’s belief in him, which helped him refine his music and image and rise to fame.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his mixtape, Lanez is re-releasing “Lost Cause” on October 1, and he hinted at more re-releases in the future, stating, “This will be the first of many classic mixtapes of mine that I will officially release on DSPs now that I am INDEPENDENT!!!”
