Tory Lanez Reveals Debut Album Title

Tory Lanez gives us the green light to announce the title to his long awaited debut album! Tory Lanez has been having quite the run for himself over the past year or so, signing a new deal with Interscope Records, going on multiple nationwide tours, and releasing two smash singles in the process including “Say It” & “LA Confidential.” Oh, let’s not forget he dropped TWO mixtapes on Christmas & has been on the mind (& mouth) of the biggest rapper in the game, Drake, as well. However, all of that was just in preparation for something arguably much bigger & better…his long awaited debut album, which we are happy to exclusively announce to you will be called ...I Told You. Set to drop sometime this Summer, I Told You will contain the newly-premiered single "Luv," along with the chart-topping single “Say It." As for when exactly we can expect the album to arrive remains unknown, but just know it’s coming and is easily shaping up to be Tory's best work to date

Tory Lanez Declines XXL Freshman Cover Spot

Though he got an offer, Tory Lanez will not be a member of this year's Freshman class. There is much buzz about the rap world regarding the 10 rappers who will appear on this year's XXL Freshman cover. The HNHH staff recently shared its opinions on those most deserving of the honor and put forth a list that includes talents like G Herbo, Jazz Cartier, and Tory Lanez, the latter whom it seems has been a contender for a few years now. Regardless, the self-proclaimed face of the New Toronto is bigger now than ever before, but as of today, Lanez himself has confirmed that he will NOT be pictured among the 2016 crop of Freshman. "I passed on the XXL cover. Don't b confused," wrote Lanez today on Twitter, officially joining the ranks of his Toronto neighbors Drake and PartyNextDoor as artists who have turned down a spot on the Freshman cover. Last year's Freshman issue came out at the beginning of June, so chances are that XXL has already started to narrow down the guys and/or girls who will be a part of this year's Freshman class. And if Lanez' tweet is to be believed, XXL offered him a cover spot, which he apparently declined.

Tory Lanez & Jacquees Have Squashed Their Beef

Tory Lanez and Jacquees met up at South By Southwest. South By Southwest can really do everything. In addition to providing dope performances for fans, it can also be a means for reconciliation. Back in late February, Tory Lanez and Jacquees fell into a brief Twitter beef that was started when Tory Lanez responded flippantly to a post from the new Cash Money signee. Lanez wasn’t having it when Jacquees declared that he was coming for every R&B artist not named Chris Brown, and Jacquees ended up calling the Toronto singer a “watermelon head ass,” among other things. Fast forward to SXSW, where the two linked up and appear to have squashed any ill will that may have stemmed from their spate on Twitter. Jacquees posted a photo of the two together at SXSW, and although he called Tory Lanez a watermelon head again, it appears to have been in good fun this time. The two are on to bigger things, as they should be, and hopefully we’ll hear a collaboration between the two talented artists soon.

Drake Goes After Meek Mill, Barack Obama & Tory Lanez On "Summer Sixteen"

R&B Drake took a backseat tonight... Drake took no prisoners on his new single, "Summer Sixteen." No singing, no dancing -- just bitter raps directed at anyone whom he might consider a rival. Of course, that includes Meek Mill, whom he deals with in his opening verse. He reveals that he found out Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj were staying in the Toronto Four Seasons on the night that "Back to Back" dropped, and upon discovering the couple’s whereabouts, Drake and his crew booked a room directly above that of Meek and Nicki, and proceeded to blast "Back to Back" all night long. Funnily enough, Meek referenced the same scenario on a diss track of his own, "War Pain," that he released along with a new EP, 4/4 Part 2, shortly after the premiere of "Summer Sixteen." Head here to get a detailed look at that strange coincidence. He finishes with Meek after rapping, "You don’t have to say it louder n*gga / Trust, we heard you the first time." As far as the most high-profile target on Drake’s new record, that would have to Barack Obama. Hailing from north of the border, Drake obviously didn’t feel any qualms about going after the current U.S. President. "Tell Obama that my verses are like the whips that he in / They bulletproof," raps Drake early on in his opening verse. Why did he deliver shots against the leader of the free world? Because Obama, who has been vocal about his love for Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, recently voiced his opinion that K-Dot would best Drake in a one-on-one battle. Moving on to his fellow Canadians, Drake raps, "All you boys in the new Toronto want to be me a little." Many took this, and the ensuing lines, to be something off a shot taken at Tory Lanez, whose December mixtape is titled The New Toronto. Lanez may have created tension with Drake when he expressed his dislike of "the 6" as a nickname for Toronto -- one that has, of course, been popularized by the "6 God." To make things even more sensational, Meek Mill called out Drake for hating on his fellow Torontonian on "War Pain": "Tory from the 6, you hatin’ on him, Lord knows!" It might be unfair to call them disses, but Drake also namedrops Jay Z (whose status he says he has achieved), Kanye (whose pool isn't as big as his), and Chris Breezy (to whom he has comparable dance moves). OK, the last one was a little cruel.
