Tory Lanez - August 19th [New Song]

Tory Lanez connects with Jahlil Beats for “August 19th.”

Last week, Fargo Friday came with two new freestyles from Tory Lanez. One was over Drake’s “Controlla” instrumental and the over of DJ Khaled’s “I Got The Keys.” Tory has admitted he’s coming after Drake’s throne, even if he’s also a fan of the music– given rap’s competitive nature, this has resulted in some subliminal jabs from either side, with the “Controlla” revamp possibly another from the One Umbrella member. Could his latest Fargo Friday release, “August 19th,” be yet another? Take a close listen, and think about the song title…We’ll let you dissect and debate it in the comments.

The song itself features triumphant production from Jahlil Beats, who isn’t Tory’s go-to collaborator but they definitely work well together here. Tory is feeling equally triumphant on the song, as he ruminates on his recent accomplishments. All this is simply warm-up material as we wait on his debut album, I Told You, due out this summer.
