Following a traumatic week, Tory Lanez has released a lost treasure. “Summer Rain” originated from a 2017 compilation of unreleased studio recordings.

This new track gives enthusiasts a raw, nostalgic sound from his archives. Originally laid in 2017, the track remained unrecorded until its current release. Lanez combines smooth R&B melodies with hip-hop soul, creating a classic summer heartbreak atmosphere, which gains a deeper impact as the season comes to an end and the feeling no longer lasts.

The track’s atmosphere is evocative of late-night drives, fleeting relationships, and the sorts of recollections you only discuss after you’ve hit rock bottom. Tory moves effortlessly over the rhythm with his signature emotive delivery, gliding between soulful vocals and rap verses in his distinctive style. It’s the kind of song that brings to mind that lingering, unresolved relationship that still occupies your thoughts.

Lanez releasing music from the vault isn’t just a publicity stunt—Lost Tapes is him giving the people access to previously unreleased material he’s been keeping hidden. “Summer Rain” showcases his versatility, having consistently written songs that directly touch the heart. Two years later, it still sounds relevant, which speaks to his continued consistency and forward-thinking approach.

The track appears to dispute the notion that Lanez was the shooter in the Megan Thee Stallion case. Lanez has completed two years of a ten-year prison term so far. Lanez’s defence attorneys are actively submitting petitions to secure his release from jail.

This decline isn’t solely driven by nostalgia. Tory’s got a joint for every occasion, even the ones we assumed were long gone.
