Chapter 1: Who is calling in live from jail in this episode?
all right guys we have a pretty cool pod today we got tori lanes calling in live exclusively from jail i've been talking to him about this for doing this for quite some time so i'm glad we're finally pulling it off he's about to call in before we get into it if you guys have not tried out the prize picks app you gotta download it right now you guys know me i have tried every single app when it comes to firing on sports and prize picks is by far hands down the best app
Chapter 2: What app is recommended for sports fans?
What I love about it is instead of choosing teams, you're choosing individual players. Each player has a set projection, and then it's up to you. You either go more or less than that set projection. So if you guys are smart with sports and you know what players are going to perform on what nights, this is a no-brainer. PrizePix is the app for you.
If you guys have never tried the app, we got you guys on CodeNelk. Plug that into the app when you download it, and if you just put in $5, you get $50 for free. No strings attached. It's that simple. So take advantage of CodeNelk if you've never tried PrizePix. PrizePix is available in California and Texas and so many other states. UFC is coming up this weekend.
We got March Madness around the corner. That's absolute fire season. Playoffs is coming up in a few months. So it's the perfect time to get into PrizePix. I love the app. Like I said, I can't even watch a game now without firing on PrizePix. It just makes watching the game so much more fun. So download the PrizePix app. Trust me, you won't regret it. Use code NELK. Let's get into the pod.
All right, boys, we got a crazy episode here. We've been talking about doing this a while, me and Tory, the last few months. So we got Tory calling in exclusively on the phone right now. Tory, how we doing?
You're doing great, man. I'm on top of the horizon. How you feeling?
Good, brother. Chilling, chilling. I know we've been talking about doing this for a while. There's been a couple speed bumps. Yeah.
i can't help it i'm in prison i don't know how to stop that you feel me i know that i don't know how much you see in there how much you're told but yeah that shit kind of went viral the other day i guess we were about to do this and there was like a riot or something it was a little it was a melee i wouldn't say a riot i think the riot is like from what i've seen i think it's more like than like 10 15 people is more so a riot that was like a
Regular six, six on six. It's like a melee, you know what I mean? Yeah. It's not a riot.
How intense is it in there in, like, the area that you're in? Is that, like, a daily thing or, like, every week?

Chapter 3: How is Tory Lanez recording an album from prison?
Yeah, actually, I was just trying to like put some shit down. I've been recording this album. since the other day when Ray had put that thing out for me. Because Ray basically put all my stuff out on Instagram because I can't really see what's going on, you know, being from where I'm actually putting it out from.
So when he posted it on Instagram, that was the actual day I actually started the album, was literally that actual day. And the reason why we even posted that was because, like, I just needed the reassurance from my umbrellas that, They felt how I felt about the situation. Like, y'all know I'm more than capable, even though this is a very crazy task that has never, ever been done.
Like, you have to think how this is, you know, everybody who says, yo, we've done music from prison or we've done music from jail, usually it's like this over-the-phone shit sounding like, yo, this sucks.
like that's not what i'm doing here like this is this is the first ever in in real time prison album an album that's recorded in prison for prisoners by a prisoner in real time as a prisoner is going through his real time sentence and it's professional it's going to sound exactly like a tory lane's album but just the pain is there the the hunger is there the
You know, the tears, the cries, it's a lot. It's a lot of emotion into it, but it's the first ever professionally recorded prison album. This has never been done before. That's crazy.
I don't know how much you want to reveal, but how did you guys crack the code on the quality and making it sound so good?
Well, we started originally from county jail, right? When we was in county jail and I was working on the Alone at Palm Deluxe, there was a lot of things that we were trying at that point just through the GTL phone. And they had me in solitary confinement. And, you know, there's always this weird rumor where, like, yo, he gets one hour out of the cell a day.
But I wasn't getting any hours out of the cell a day. I was in there 24 hours. And so because they knew that they were doing people harsh like that, they would put a pay phone in your cell. So... I was on that phone all day just trying to see if there was different ways that I record or I could record and taking the feedback from my engineer.
And so really that was what kind of started the initial like, okay, we need to figure this out and figure out how this could work over periods of times. There's a lot of other elements that took into place like AI that can enhance the way that your voice sounds, to clear it up through the phone. It's a lot of things. And then of course I have one of the greatest engineering teams

Chapter 4: How does Tory Lanez maintain music quality from jail?
of the world, like, you know, Johan, Super Saiyan Mike, I got a girl named Angie, like all of the engineers that I work with are geniuses. So it's like together we just, you know, and I'm also an engineer myself, you know, I engineer my own things. So there's things that I can hear when they can't hear it and vice versa. And that's kind of how it works. I don't want to give you all my thoughts.
But it's mainly just like me getting as clean a take as I could possibly get. And then, you know, putting the extra things into it that my engineer kind of takes up at that point and does a lot of things to get my voice more clear and more transparent and, you know, high end and bright.
I know you told me the other day, like, this is not some just album from jail. This is like a real deal album that's going to like compete with all your other shit, right?
Exactly. Like, I want this to be... And that's why I go so hard about it. It's not because... I'm not trying to do the norm. I just want to do the impossible. But it can be on the level of a norm because where I'm at is impossible for me to be normal, if that makes any sense. Where I'm at, I'm supposed to be strapped down. My hands are supposed to be right behind my back, which they are.
But I want to show my fans. I want to show the people who... who believe in me and are inspired by me that at this point in my life, like, no matter what, and no matter what happens in your life, like, we can do it and we can beat the odds no matter what they throw us. And I'm the first walking testimony of somebody that is literally defying all odds right now. Against the grain.
100%.
What made you want to, like, why right now? Like, I saw a video of you saying, like, Drake dropped, The Weeknd dropped his best shit, like, now it's time for you to drop. Is this, like, did they kind of, like, inspire you or, like, not pressure you to drop, but, like, did that have anything to do with the timing?
I would like to say, I think, I didn't know that everybody was dropping. And I just felt like, look, man, like, yeah, I didn't know everybody was dropping, but the year started, the weekend dropped, then Barbie and Drake dropped together. And I was just like, wow, like, everybody's putting out their best music right now. And, you know, it just felt like I needed to participate.
But you know me, when I participate, I come to compete. So I'm not going to participate if I don't feel like I'm up to par to compete. So... At this standpoint, I'm just like, look, I see everybody's doing things. It's not necessarily that you guys are the sole reason why I'm doing this, but I do feel like the city's driving, so why would I have my job if the rest of us don't?

Chapter 5: Why did Tory Lanez choose to release new music now?
There's a bunch of new fire shit on there. Grab a piece, rep FullSend. Let's get into the pod. You're like the OG of kind of like being blackballed by the industry too. I know you went like independent, right? Not too long ago. And I always used to see you'd have some trouble and some issues with the way that the music industry would work.
What do you think about like with Drake and how the industry's kind of turned against him? Like you see videos now. I don't know if your boys tell you or you could see anything, but... You can't find a shit on Spotify. There's just a whole bunch of sketchy shit going on. I see. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that. Because you're kind of on the inside of it too, right? The whole industry?
I can't all the way speak to everything that's going on with Drake. Because at the end of the day, he's a grown man. I think that's his story itself. But I will say one thing. I'm proud of the stance of any artist that goes against the bullshit that happens behind the scenes. Sometimes when things happen and we come out and we're like, yo, fuck the label. Or like, yo, fuck the major.
It's like, everyone's like, nah, this guy's spiraling out. He's this and this label. But they don't know what's going on behind the scenes. And there's a lot of dark things going on behind the scenes. And this is the reason why I went independent. Because y'all niggas ain't getting me with none of that. I'm not selling my soul. I'm not doing none of that weird shit. The rituals and all that shit.
This guy going on. Fuck out of here.
Yeah, no rituals for sure.
Fuck away from me. but there's a lot of weird things that go on behind the scenes, and so it's very hard to be in a situation like Drake is going through right now where you're going against the whole thing. You know what I mean?
The machine, yeah.
I understand that there's a scrutiny because it's like... All right, we only get 15 minutes at a time on Torrey's Jail Phone, so we'll be back momentarily. We back?

Chapter 6: What are Tory Lanez's thoughts on the music industry?
I'm just kidding. I ain't gonna lie. I was just getting on the jail phone and I was just going. However I feel that morning, that's just how I'm going. And that's the thing about this project is like, This is real life, like, my real emotion. I don't give a fuck if I cry on that fucking jail phone, nigga. I don't care. Like, nigga, as long as I get it on that mic, that's all I care about.
This is real life documentation of history. There's never going to be a person that's going to do this like me. Kyle, like, really think about this. Okay, before I say anything, let me ask you a question. I know you're interviewing me, but let me interview you for a small second. What is the most memorable moment
Prison song or album or anything that you can remember that was made in prison What is the most memorable thing that you can remember?
Everyone's probably gonna comment some shit and call me an idiot for not saying it But I I personally don't know like nothing jumps off the page for me because nothing jumps into your mind immediately Yes, there's gonna be people in the comments are gonna say well Draco did it and fucking Bobby Schmurder and and Sean But it's like guys These guys went on a phone call and just rapped.
They didn't have to go through, yo, what are the presets that we need to turn this jail phone call into full high-end vocals that sound like I'm in the studio so that this mic can now become my studio. How do we do that? There is a way. That's what I did that is different than the average person that they're going to bring up in the comics.
The reason why you don't have anything to bring up right now is because nobody did it. Nobody did it. Nobody did it to the point where it was so memorable that it was like, wow, maybe this guy did it. This is what this is, Kyle. Fuck me being Tory Lanez. Fuck me being the artist that is in his situation, like, just take this for face value. Remove Tory Lanez.
Let's say I was a guy named Cheddar Bob, nigga, for the sake of conversation. I was Cheddar Bob, bro. And I came to jail and I said, yo, I'm Cheddar Bob releasing the first ever professional prison recorded album. At that standpoint, I'm going to look at Cheddar Bob and be like, I don't care who he is. That is revolutionary if he gets that accomplished. That's what I'm accomplishing.
And I'm not just accomplishing it for me. I'm accomplishing it for everybody who comes after me that goes to prison and feels like their dream is cooked. Like, when we come to prison, they treat us like we're dead. We're not like you, Kyle. I'm sorry. We're just not. We are the forgotten. We are the mistreated. And no one cares because... They're not here to see it.
And the average motherfucker in prison does not have the resources to show it to the world. This album is the first representation of a raw and vivid view of prison in real time. You understand? It's very different. This is a historical moment that will never ever in life come again. I pray that this doesn't inspire the union that's after me.

Chapter 7: What is Tory Lanez's approach to music competition?
100%.
That's awesome, bro. Makes me happy to hear. We back?
Yep.
Yes, sir. That's probably it. No, that's, bro, that honestly makes me really happy to hear. You sound like you're in a great place. And, bro, yeah, like I told you before, you've always inspired me and you're inspiring me further now. Just the way that you're just always been a fighter, bro. Every stage of your career, you've always been an absolute fighter.
And I know that inspires a lot of people. Like, I don't know how much you see or how much you're told, but there's so much support for you online. Like, everything I read, everything I see. I don't know if you saw anything with... That was really overwhelming.
Yeah, we had Aiden on last week, too, and he showed up in the Free Tory shirt, and we were talking about that, talking about some of the new evidence. How does that make you feel to, like, hear all the support you're getting?
Aiden, I love that kid, man. Like, that's my real brother. Like, you know what I'm saying? And I think we went through, what people don't understand about me and Aiden is, like, we both have these weird, like, behind-the-scenes, like, these fucked-up, like, upbringings, and, like, Like, we've been there for each other in times that other people aren't. And it's like, I really love Aiden, bro.
That's my brother, bro. Like, I really cry real tears about Aiden. Like, as far as, like, him being a person that just represented me so hard. Like, that shit means so much to me, bro. Like, because the thing is, if people understand, like, y'all niggas can DM me and when Ray... Shout out to my nigga Ray.
But when Ray reads me the message and he tells me, oh, yeah, I say this and I say this, like, yo, I feel it. But nigga, don't tell me none of that shit. And don't think that you got this pass with me because, yo, you came in and said, yo, free toy in my inbox. Nah, nigga, go shout that shit out to the world if you feel that way.
