Tory Lanez Drops ‘Peterson’ Album From Prison
A bold confession of loyalty, betrayal & industry snakes.
Even a ten-year prison sentence can’t silence Tory Lanez. The Canadian rapper-singer has just dropped his latest album, Peterson (released March 7, 2025), a deeply personal project recorded while serving time for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. With the industry turning its back on him, Lanez uses Peterson to speak his truth, call out fake friends, and salute those who stayed solid—most notably, Chris Brown.
When the first track hits, Peterson oozes defiance, pain, and self-reflection. Lanez doesn’t hold back, addressing how many of his industry peers abandoned him after his conviction. Between melodic flows and hard-hitting bars, he takes shots at those who once stood beside him but have since disappeared. It’s clear—he feels betrayed. But not everyone left him in the cold. He gives a special thanks to Chris Brown, who he claims helped cover his legal fees. It’s a controversial alliance, but Lanez makes it known: Loyalty matters more than industry politics.
While much of the album is defiant, Tory Lanez gets deeply emotional on the track “Free Me”—arguably the most vulnerable moment on Peterson. With haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Lanez lays bare the reality of life behind bars, rapping:
"Prison isn't easy, Lord free me..."
It’s a rare moment of raw pain from an artist who usually wears a tough exterior. The track has resonated with fans, offering a glimpse into his mental and emotional struggles while serving time. Musically, Peterson blends R&B and rap, serving fans the classic Lanez sound—smooth vocals, sharp lyricism, and emotionally charged storytelling. While the production process remains a mystery, the final product is polished, proving that even from a cell, Lanez can still make chart-worthy music.
Of course, Peterson isn’t just an album—it’s a statement. Supporters see it as a testament to resilience. The album’s release has reignited debates about accountability, the blurred lines between personal life and artistry, and the industry’s selective morality.
Whether you love him or loathe him, one thing’s for sure: Tory Lanez isn’t done talking. And if Peterson is any indication, he still has a lot more to say.
