Tory Lanez: Do you remember all the nights in Miami that inspired this shit?
Lil Tory: Shit, Miami's the bomb, dude, the city and the song.
Tory Lanez: He was there throughout the whole project.
Lil Tory: I was helping cooking it all up.
Tory Lanez: The phenomenon himself, Lil Tory in the building.
Lil Tory: A lot of blunt smoking Tory Lanez: Facts.
Lil Tory: And that’s about it Tory Lanez: Facts.
Lil Tory: No, I’m just kidding.
Tory is the hardest worker I know man.
Let nobody make the mistake.
Cassius came with the beat and he wasn't even supposed to be in Miami, he just came on some
random stuff and was like "Yo I'm gonna come cook with you today."
I recorded my own stuff a lot in the house so I was just looking out the balcony.
I remember him just playing a beat.
It was like real red and orange outside.
The sun was about to come down and like yo I just really love Miami.
I'm in my penthouse, looking out the view like, Wow.
To make it out there in the same way that you saw it in your head, that was the shock
value for me.
First, I was homeless.
Then I used to live in a basement.
At the bottom of the bottom.
Now I live at the top.
I used to live in Miami, before I ever moved back to Canada.
It's actually a famous Lil Wayne line too, "Gangstas don't die, they get chubby and they
move to Miami.
I move to Miami.”
That song always spoke to me, the beat and just everything about that
When I was homeless, that was the worst time for me.
That is the worst thing that you could ever have to go do, is find a place to sleep.
If I didn’t have music to kind of revert back to and make me feel like there's a way,
if this is good enough I can get out of all of this.
If there wasn't that, I don't know if I'd really be here.
For all of the kids out there, at the end of the day, whatever your talent is and whatever
you're good at is what you should chase.
If I ever talk about anything, I always say it in the standpoint of, this is where I came
from, you don't gotta be here either, you just gotta understand that this is where I
came from.
Who doesn't wanna be part of Tory Lanez's crew?
I'm one of the luckiest motherfuckers alive.
Alive B. Real Talk.
When I roll out a backwood I'm not peeling anything off so I'm using the whole leaf.
I can only roll that leaf one time.
That should put everything in perspective for you.
I only smoke weed, I don't do no pills, I don't do nothing else.
I'm like Big Tory, flower only.
Big facts.
My brain is going at a hundred thousand miles a second.
When I smoke, that's the only time I can kind of slow things down.
I'm not gonna sit here and be like "Yo, smoking is the only option, of course."
I feel like one day if I stopped smoking period, I'm sure I'd be able to find some sort of peace.
Cops that was in our neighborhood that knew us by face and name and they would tell us
"We gon' see you inside soon" as we were growing up.
Feeling like, damn we might really just be in there.
But it's crazy when you beat those odds.
They was wrong.
My mom definitely used to tell me “Don't ever forget you're a wolf."
The way I look at that was, I could tackle anything in life because she told me that
I was special and that I was fierce, like a wolf.
She told me everything I did, to be bold.
I've been expelled from every single school since 6th grade.
Up until I dropped out.
I just did not do well with authority.
My mom died ... I always looked at things like, "My mom told me you can't tell me what to do."
Listen, I have impeccable taste, my man.
Impeccable.
Ask this man, impeccable.
I peck on it and I say, "That's a good record.
That's a good record.
That shit, that's a great record."
And Tory, my man, hey, that's a great record.
