Toronto crooner Tory Lanez dropped his new album, ‘Love Me Now?’ last week and it’s been getting a lot of good reviews. Tory stopped by Power 106’s #TheCruzShow and talked to J. Cruz and the team about the album.

On the topic of the album, Lanez spoke about his work ethic and what drives him to succeed.

“I’m addicted to success man. Im not scared to fail. I actually like failing sometimes because it’s the best way to learn,” he said. “You know you can’t really learn unless you’ve felt every single feeling of a failure. ‘Cause then it’s like damn, I don’t want to feel like this way again, so, I would do this right…so it ensures that I don’t feel this way again.”

Tory also talked to #TheCruzShow about squashing his beef with Drake, Drizzy’s ’90s-inspired birthday party, working with Spanish artist, and revealed he’s dropping an album with Chris Brown and a Spanish album very soon.

“Me and him [Chris Brown] actually really got like nine to ten songs, but on the project we got two.” said Lanes. “Spanish album on the way. The things about it is, people got to understand is that I work a lot…When it comes to projects, I like to work ahead of time. So, like, if something is supposed to come out four months from now, I’m finishing it now, instead of three months later.”

The Game Shares A Powerful Spoken Word Poem On Race In America [VIDEO]

The Game has always been a major advocate for change on social issues in America. Just last week he along with Snoop Dogg and Problem led a peaceful rally in LA and met with the Mayor, Eric Garcetti and LAPD Chief, Charlie Beck in hopes of unifying LA.

Today, Game joined Power 106’s J. Cruz and Yesi Ortiz for a special edition of #KnowledgeIsPower, where he along with Nick Cannon, Dr. Abdullah, and Wendy Carrillo talked about the ongoing race issues in America and the definition of #BlackLivesMatter.

Following the conversation Game delivered a very powerful spoken word speech that he tirelessly worked on and fell asleep writing “so, it may sound unfinished at the end.” Read the lyrics to the unnamed piece below.

Game’s Spoken Word

The problem started with our fathers being forced to sell drugs to our own people given to us by the same government that locks us away in cages. Taking black men out of the ghettos they were put in and leaving the black woman and child alone to survive in a world with little or no resources because they lack the strength instilled upon man by God who as our creator knowing which roll the male species will play in building of what we now know as the earth. We were put here to share this one race, the human race, but over time the devil in his hatred of God as caused a wedge between man and the earth or a glitch in the matrix as some would say causing a ripple in the bloodlines of Black, White, Asian, Spanish and Indian cultures causing a segregated lifestyle in which the minority, yes the minority, it being us, African-Americans has surfed the most in all areas deemed inhumane from being slaves tied in chains to slaves hung by gangs.

These gangs, the American government, and KKK are now equal to African-Americans when we roll up and pull out a KKK. But who are we pointing our guns at? Each other, our sister and our brothers, but we scared, yeah we scared to point it in the direction of others. But the white man he’ll walk in church and kill our aunties and our mothers and we just lay down in streets cold and stiff under white covers. The same covers the Klu Klux Klan wore over their over heads to do us in then we get pulled over by the police and they wonder why we got guns because you ain’t gonna shot us man.

We want to defend ourselves like Mutombo, we want to be at home reading our children Micky Mouse and Dumbo, we want pardons by Obama before he gone, so we make it home just in time for grandmothers gumbo, but it won’t happen cause even Barack don’t have the freedom that he wants. He in the white house with black skin, I’d rather be out in the front, but his daughters, beautiful young black queens, living the American dream while our daughters are on the other side of the fence getting pregnant in their teens and I do not blame our President for sh**. I blame the government for trying to ease the black man since our existence.

This fight has been fixed it is a trap, yeah it is a trap black man, set up so we can never be as rich as Bruce Wayne that only leaves us with Batman, a character in a mask that has to hide his identity. Do all the work for police killing minorities saving them time and a whole lot of energy and we got enemies, we got a lot of enemies government want to see us all in the penitentiary trying to put the slave black in a n*****. You know they’ll murder us. Look how they did John Kennedy. So black man please put the blunt down, the lean and the Hennessy. It’s time to father our future so our existence is more than just a memory.

We need more figures of Game’s stature to do things like this and make a difference. Kudos.
