Tory Lanez‘s Prison Tapes series has likely come to an end as his recording equipment has been confiscated.
According to TMZ, the rapper’s studio equipment was seized by prison guards during a raid of his cell block at the California Correctional Institution, where he’s serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
The news was confirmed by Ceasar McDowell, CEO of Unite the People and chief deputy on Tory’s legal team, who was informed by prison officials that inmates are strictly forbidden from having recording devices for various reasons.
Lanez launched Prison Tapes in July and released nine songs that were recorded behind bars, along with several other previously unreleased tracks from his Lost Tapes and Twitch Tapes series.
When announcing the weekly series, Tory said he had figured out a way to record music in prison while achieving the same high-quality sound as a professional studio.
“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 phone call posted on Instagram.
“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.”
He added: “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 was not exaggerating as fans were immediately stunned by the sound quality of his first Prison Tapes offerings, “Cell 245” and “Wish I Never Met You.”
“Tory Lanez really got some crazy quality on this song. You dead can’t even tell he did this over a prison phone,” one impressed listener wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another said: “How is Tory lanez song quality this good from jail[.] he wasn’t lying he cracked the code,” while a third fan joked: “They gave Tory Lanez a whole studio.”
