- July 16, 2026
AceShowbiz - Tory Lanez is preparing to drop a new double album this week, despite currently serving time behind bars. The 23-track project will be split into two distinct discs, each highlighting a different musical style that has defined his career.
The forthcoming album, titled MADE YOU THINK I WAS GONE...BUT, is set for release on Friday, July 17. On July 14, Tory Lanez announced the project on social media, sharing that the first disc will focus exclusively on rap, while the second disc will showcase R&B tracks.
Fans can expect a total of 23 songs, with 11 on the rap disc and 12 on the R&B disc. Notably, the album will feature no guest artists, making it a fully solo venture for Tory Lanez. This approach highlights his intentions to showcase his individual artistry without collaborations.
The album’s artwork and tracklist include a thought-provoking phrase that seems to mirror Tory Lanez’s current outlook: “When the world turns your back on you, you turn your back on the world.” This cryptic statement may reflect his mindset amid his legal challenges.
This release adds to Tory Lanez’s impressive productivity during incarceration. Although serving a sentence, he has continued to create and issue music, maintaining a steady output despite the limitations of prison life.
Previously, Tory Lanez launched his Prison Tapes series, offering fans music recorded while behind bars. However, that project was interrupted when prison authorities seized his recording equipment. Following that, he released Peterson in 2025, another album developed during his imprisonment, demonstrating his determination to keep his music career alive.
The upcoming double album seems to continue this pattern, reaffirming that Tory Lanez’s artistry has not paused despite his current circumstances. By alternating between aggressive rap and smooth R&B sounds, he is embracing both sides of his musical identity.
With the official release date set for July 17, MADE YOU THINK I WAS GONE...BUT promises to be a significant addition to Tory Lanez’s discography, delivered entirely on his own terms.
