Making a significant mark in the music industry is no easy feat. However, dedicated artists will go to great lengths to turn their dreams into reality. Many emerging musicians find themselves going solo and relying on their own resources. Tory Lanez experienced this firsthand about ten years ago when he faced financial hardships, sleeping in his ex-girlfriend's car and on his manager's couch. When his relationship ended, he needed a new place to stay. That’s when Trina stepped in to support the young artist, as shared in a recent inspirational post on Instagram. Tory recalls, "I remember showing her the song for ‘Godfather’. She looked at me and said, 'That’s the song that’s going to get you a deal.' She put up five thousand dollars to help me shoot the video. Coincidentally, the director of that video also filmed another one for me for free, which turned out to be ‘Henny in Hand’. Just two months later, Interscope saw both videos and was amazed that it was the same artist on each track. This led to my signing with them, and the rest is history." Thanks to Trina's steadfast encouragement and kindness, Tory was able to develop his music and brand. This support is also why he is now planning to rerelease the mixtape featuring those two songs. The project, titled Lost Cause, will be available on October 1, marking its tenth anniversary. Additionally, Tory plans to continue this series of reissues in the future, stating, "This will be the first of many classic mixtapes of mine that I will officially release on DSPs now that I am INDEPENDENT!"
