Since we've been put in quarantine, and in some states curfew, Tory decided to take it upon himself to give out free entertainment. He goes live on his Instagram account every on a weekly basis that has grown in popularity. It's just him and his team vibing to music, letting girls twerk, and just being genuinely goofy. I feel as though it's giving him an advantage over other artists because not only is he keeping his followers engaged during this downtime from their regular activities. It started off kinda slow but exponentially grew quickly to the point where Instagram wouldn't allow him to go live because it was said to have been violating their community guidelines.
When I've tuned into it myself, I've never been disappointed or seen a dull moment. Having his celebrity friends like Megan Thee Stallion, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown and Drake stop by to show love is what really makes it so interesting to see. Just people being people. Sadly, Tory announced on his Instagram recently that Quarantine Radio would be taking a temporary break until April 30th due to the guidelines of Instagram and it will later be determined on whether the fate of the live streams is headed.
In the meantime, many people have screen recorded his previous live streams and they are currently posted on Youtube!
"A lot of things were just turning me coldhearted, and I used that as the fuel to put in the project." Tory told Apple Music when asked more about his new mixtape.

This project is also cause for celebration since it is Tory's final project since being released from the contract he had with Interscope Records!
I'm going to let you listen to the tracks yourself and decide what you think, but here are my Top Five songs from the project.
Penthouse Red
What gravitated me to this song is the vibe of it all. The background music of this track is so simple yet really brings the song to life and does just enough for you to nod your head to. This is one of the few songs on this project that Tory is singing on for the full song. This song is for when you have that special person of yours in mind. "Hennessey to red and white wine vibes" are some of the many verses that stood out to me.
Letter To The City 2
Every time I listen to this song, it makes me feel motivated. Tory really went in-depth with this song and shared his inner thoughts & emotions. This song really took me back to some of his older music. The visuals for this song are so calming and the song aligns perfectly.
Accidents Happen
I had never heard of Lil Tjay before, but after this song, I'm searching for more songs by him. He bodied his verses on this song and made to be good a pairing on this song. I honestly still don't know if I like Tory rapping or singing better, but this song definitely gave me something to contemplate about. The visuals for this song are also interesting showing large amounts of money being spread out and being put through a counting machine.
Do The Most
This song really reminds me of the way I felt when I listened to Tory's song... from his previous project Chixtape 5 considering that this song gave me nothing but turn up & party vibes This also only one of the few songs from the project that has an actual music video. I enjoyed the music video because it just gave club vibes and made me want to go out, haha!
MSG 4 GOD'S CHILDREN
This is a heartfelt song that is honestly my favorite from the whole project because he's trying to bring to shine a light on his faith. Throughout the song, he is talking about finding God for yourself and not just taking his word for it-- actually seeing for yourself! Additionally, he talks about going to God in his time of need and being a part of the army of God. It's a beautiful song that shows him being vulnerable and authentic to his truth.
Overall, I'm glad Tory released more music. Especially with everything going on around us, now is a perfect time to have some new songs to listen to. You can find the mixtape on all music platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal.

Always a pleasure sharing with you, thank you.
