Is Tory Lanez Teasing A “Quarantine Radio” Return?

Following a lengthy period of laying low, Tory Lanez has slowly increased his activity level — but as a fellow Canadian rapper once said, Nothing Was The Same. As of now, Lanez is facing several serious charges, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, one felony count of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and personal use of a firearm. Should he be convicted, Tory could potentially face up to twenty-two years in prison.

Despite the potentially catastrophic charges looming overhead, Tory appears determined to maintain some semblance of normalcy, as evidenced by a recent post on his Instagram page calling back to simpler times. A time when he was a leading source of entertainment amid the pandemic, thanks to his outlandish and debaucherous Quarantine Radio. In fact, it seems as if he’s looking to spark a renewed interest in the series, possibly even teasing a return in a recent Instagram post with the simple caption of “QUARANTINE QUARANTINE QUARANTINE.”

One has to wonder how a return of Quarantine Radio would be received, considering how vilified Tory has been since the Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident occurred. It’s unlikely that he’ll ever be able to climb back to where he once stood in the eyes of the adoring masses — especially if the upcoming trial reveals damning truths. Still, Tory has retained a loyal fanbase in spite of his potential role in the shooting, many of whom wish to see the Daystar rapper land on his feet.

Where do you stand on the matter — would you welcome a return to Quarantine Radio, or do you feel like Tory is pushing his luck as it is?

ReeToxA confronts the past with truth on “HMAS CERBERUS”

“HMAS CERBERUS,” ReeToxA’s new single, is a raw, very personal song about his life experiences. The song sounds like Oz rock from the 1990s, and modern alternative and grunge. It sounds brave and familiar at the same time, like a truth kept secret for a long time.

“HMAS CERBERUS” is based on a true story from Jason McKee’s life, and it shows how his ten years in the Navy changed him and how they still do. The song bravely speaks to the emotional toll of service, including alcoholism and mental stress, sincerely.

The poem is what makes the single stand out. The writing is brilliant and stays smart, and it’s hard without being preachy. The singer got the idea for the song when he saw four seasons in one day at a beer garden in Melbourne. It connects the sudden change in the weather to a life that is constantly changing and hiding how you feel. It’s a potent metaphor for a mind that finally stops long enough to figure out where the damage started.

The song “HMAS CERBERUS” is both intense and at the same time. It makes you think, but it’s also surprisingly easy to dance to, which shows that dark themes don’t have to be sad music. The song is both interesting and challenging to listen to because of the gritty guitars and rock base. In a sea of safe releases, ReeToxA stands out as honest, raw, uncomfortable, and necessary. “HMAS CERBERUS” is a brave meditation that stays with you for a long.time

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
