Tory Lanez is gearing up to drop new music from behind bars as he continues his sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Throughout the month of July, Lanez has been dropping a few songs a week that he’s had in the stash. But in a new update, he revealed that he’s figured out how to record in high fidelity from prison, and he says he’s ready to release with a vengeance.

“After about 20-something to 30-something fuck-ups and mistakes, me and my engineer have finally figure out how to record music over the jail phone and still keep the quality as professional as I had it on the street,” he said in a recorded call posted to his Instagram on Wednesday (July 24). “It’s over. I done cracked the fucking code, man. This means that not even these prison walls can stop me from dropping new music. It’s crazy!
“That being said, I’m about to start dropping hot heaps of coal on y’all head top. I’m dropping the all new ‘Free Tory’ playlist – it’s gon’ be updated every week with new music that I’m recording from prison in real time. This is the first of its kind and although God has already shown me that this moment is only temporary , it speaks testimony to the fact that no matter where they put me they can’t lock down my spirit, my ambition, my soul my passion nor my destiny!”
Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, though he has an ongoing appeal against his conviction.
The incident happened after the two rappers got into a drunken dispute following a party hosted by Kylie Jenner in July 2020. Tory has long maintained his innocence but did not testify at the trial.

Lanez’s appeal is based on “Erroneous Admission of Evidence” and “Prosecutorial Misconduct,” but his motion has been delayed to allow the prosecution to examine it.
After he was found guilty, a written statement from Megan was read in court by Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta.
In it, the Houston native blasted Tory for spinning false narratives about the shooting and making light of her “trauma” in subsequent music releases. As a result, she said she had “not experienced a single day of peace” since the shooting.
“He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma,” Megan wrote. “He tried to position himself as a victim and set out to destroy my character and my soul.

“He lied to anyone that would listen and paid bloggers to disseminate false information about the case on social media. He released music videos and songs to damage my character and continue his crusade.”
