Less than two years after the success of his debut album I Told You<\/em>, \u0422\u043e\u0440\u0438 \u041b\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0437<\/strong> releases his sophomore album. On MEMORIES DON\u2019T DIE<\/em>, he features: \u0411\u0443\u0434\u0443\u0449\u0435\u0435<\/strong>, \u0412\u0438\u0437 \u0425\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0444\u0430<\/strong>, 50 Cent<\/strong>, Nav<\/strong>, Fabolous<\/strong>, Paloma Ford<\/strong>, \u0438 Mansa<\/strong>. The 25 year old is known for his intermix of various sounds in music. He has built the anticipation for this album on his social media pages by doing free album release shows, FaceTiming fans, and teaser clips on Instagram. Does MEMORIES DON\u2019T DIE<\/em> live up to the hype?<\/p>\n

\u0422\u043e\u0440\u0438 \u041b\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0437<\/strong> has always been the type of artist to blend different sounds together. When he\u2019s not raping, he\u2019s singing and when he\u2019s not doing R&B he\u2019s doing Dancehall. When he raps, he\u2019s on fire. He presents rhymes, wordplay, double entendres and metaphors when he\u2019s flowing on a beat. Those elements are heard on: \u2018Old friends x New Foes\u2019 Pieces\u2019, \u2018Hate to say\u2019, \u2018B.B.W.W x Fake show\u2019 and \u2018Benevolent\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost unbelievable how the Grammy nominated artist can go from spitting heavy bars in his rap verses to delivering melodious sounds. \u201948 Floors\u2019 is like a full course dinner with the first verse as the appetizer and the second verse as the main dish. The change in the beat after the 2nd verse introduces Mansa<\/strong>\u2019s verse which is a great dessert. \u2018B.I.D\u2019 is a melodic track! He provides a high pitch often to add a creative touch to this track. His vocals on \u20184 Me\u2019, \u2018Dance For Me\u2019, \u2018Real thing\u2019 and \u2018Hypnotized\u2019 are outstanding. His vocal mesh With Paloma Ford <\/strong>on \u2018Connection\u2019 is an auditory delight.<\/p>\n

The production on this album is noteworthy. From bass-heavy, hard-hitting beats on \u2018B.B.W.W x Fake show\u2019 to dancehall sounds on \u2018Skrt Skrt\u2019 and \u20184 Me\u2019 there is a little bit of every sound on this album. The production is so flexible it allows Tory to display his versatile sound.<\/p>\n

The appraisal of this album would be incomplete without mentioning his enthusing lyrics. His lyrics are real, deep, freaky and thought-provoking. Similar to the bullets fired on the intro of \u2018Hate to say\u2019, he shoots some words of fire at Eric Bellinger<\/strong>, haters and Sean Kingston<\/strong>. Also rapping on his verse, on \u2018B.B.W.W x Fake Show\u2019 he says:<\/p>\n

\u201cKey close, gotta keep hoes by the G code
\nGot three hoes in a G4
\nGot A, B, C, D, E, F, G, X, Y and Z hoes
\nI\u2019m still balling like D. Rose \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

His lyrics on \u2018Pieces\u2019 which features 50 Cent <\/strong>are poetic and intriguing. On a lot of tracks on this album, he would go off on a the beat in one verse. Those verses contain some of his best lyrics on this album.<\/p>\n

However, this album is not without it’s flaws. Most of the freaky songs on the album are the least impressive. The lyrics on ‘Skrt Skrt’ are unfussy. A sensual song is best enjoyed when it’s presented in a creative way and ‘Skrt Skrt’ is the musical version of a bad pickup line.<\/span>

‘Dance For Me’ is one of the more mediocre songs on this album. With Nav’s verse being the best part of this song, Tory’s chorus is a let down.

On this album, Tory takes us through an auditory experience of two different styles \u2014 singing and rapping. His rap songs are interesting and his rhythm goes well with the beat. However, when he’s singing it’s like he’s struggling to reach an acceptable standard lyrically. All things considered, none of this changes the fact that this album was worth the hype.<\/p>\n

MEMORIES DON\u2019T DIE <\/em>is an 18-track album filled with deep lyrics, hardcore rap verses, un-interesting freaky songs, an outstanding production and a glass half full of melodies.<\/p>\n

EXCEPTIONAL TRACKS:<\/strong>
\nOld friends x New Foes, 4 Me, Pieces, 48 Floors and Hillside.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
