Genius: Tory Lanez talks Quarantine Radio & being record label free

Tory Lanez talks to Genius about Quarantine Radio and other topics

Lyrics interpretation and music media company Genius recently caught up with Tory Lanez to discuss The New Toronto 3, his super popular Quarantine Radio runs on IG Live and how he’s looked forward to moving on from being signed to a record label.

All eyes are on Tory to see what he does next and this definitely gives some good insight into his frame of mind as he transitions to being an independent artist. There’s been the expected speculation on social media on who he’ll sign with next, but there’s reason to believe he’s not looking to go that route.

If money isn’t an issue—and he’s projected to be worth around 2 million—then there’s a lot of benefits to someone with a massive following like Tory having more creative and business control, and owning their masters, to name a few things.

“Tory Lanez has been hard at work since his last album, Chixtape 5. Just a few months after the sample-heavy album was released, Lanez is back with a new mixtape titled The New Toronto 3. The Canadian singer-rapper joined For The Record to discuss the new project with Genius’ VP of Content Strategy Rob Markman. During the conversation, Lanez explained why he doesn’t plan to sign to another label and discussed the success of his hit Instagram Live series, Quarantine Radio.’”
