The second studio album from Tory Lanez, Memories Don’t Die, is a cathartic insight into the artist’s life. The project is a look back on the years he’s lived up until now; a point where he can boast about his success because it comes on the back of hard work and grit. Within the album, he manages to experiment with the sound he’s become renowned for while maintaining his aesthetic with aplomb. Throughout the sprawling sophomore album, we’re treated to some of the best work to-date by the Toronto rapper.
After a much-lauded series of mixtapes, there was a lot riding on the shoulders of Lanez. With I Told You, his debut album, delivering both commercially and critically, the Brampton-native needed to show that he wasn’t just another flash in the pan-- in fact, for the majority of his career, this has been a sort of mission statement that has constantly fueled young Lanez: the insatiable desire to prove both his longevity and worth. Memories Don’t Die serves as the project to cements the rapper's position.
