Despite remaining behind bars, Tory Lanez is preparing to release another full-length project, Rap & R&B, for his loyal fan base.
Prison hasn’t completely stopped Lanez from keeping his catalog active. He previously released his Prison Tapes series, which included music recorded while incarcerated. This was before correctional officers confiscated recording equipment from his cell and the series was placed on hold. He later released Peterson in 2025, another album recorded behind bars, continuing to find ways to put music in front of listeners despite serving a lengthy sentence. Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in California. A Los Angeles jury convicted him in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in connection with the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Megan testified that Lanez shot at her feet following an argument, and she later underwent surgery for her injuries. Lanez has continued to maintain his innocence and challenge his conviction.
