Tory Lanez is a singer, rapper, songwriter and record producer out of Toronto, Canada. He has made a name for himself through his consistent hard work, putting out mixtapes including his “Chixtape” series, “The New Toronto” series and more. The latest of his “Chixtape” series, “Chixtape 5” has been one of his most anticipated albums. He announced the album more than a year ago, and it is finally here. He stopped by the Power 106 studios to have a close conversation with Nick Cannon about “Chixtape 5.”

Nick brought up to Tory about how he’s elevated and how he’s living the fruits of his labor. Tory had to remind everyone where he came from and had some inspiring words for anyone struggling and working up from the bottom.

“Nick I came from nothing, like broke, homeless, sleeping in the car begging for change. When you drive and you stop at the stoplight and there’s that guy who’s at your door and everyone looks past him and keeps driving. I was that guy…Because of all the things I’ve gone through I try to live as a living testimony to people to show them if i came from the bottom like this you can do it too.” 

The topic of “Chixtape 5” was of course a big topic of conversation. Nick asked Tory about the features on the album and started to figure out the features based on the name of the track. 

“If you really think about some of those records hard enough, you can find where I was going with it. If you really do the riddle on it you’ll know what it is. For instance the Chris Brown record “The Take” is “Take You Down.”
