Singles from The New Toronto 3

The New Toronto 3 is a commercial mixtape by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. It was released on April 10, 2020, by Mad Love Records and Interscope Records. It serves as his last release with Mad Love and Interscope, and the third installment in the New Toronto series. The project features two collaborations, one with Mansa and the other with Lil Tjay.[1] The New Toronto 3 follows four months after Lanez's prior release Chixtape 5, released as an album in a series of prior mixtapes.[2] It was supported by three singles: "Broke in a Minute", "Do the Most" and "Who Needs Love". The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 64,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.[3]

Background

The New Toronto 3 is the final release of Lanez's five-album contract with Interscope Records. The project was intended to be released in March 2020, but was delayed due to Lanez's label issues, which he has aired through social media, writing on Instagram that he has had to "dumb down [his] creativity" and that his prior release, Chixtape 5, was the "closest thing [he's] been able to give [...] that had somewhat of the quality" he intends his future music to have.[4]

Singles

Three singles were released prior to the album, including the songs "Broke in a Minute", "Who Needs Love" and "Do the Most".[5]

The New Toronto 3 was met with generally positive reviews. At Album of the Year, the album received an average score of 75 out of 100, based on three reviews.[6] Jordan Bassett of NME gave the album four stars.[9] Bassett praised Lanez' growth as an artist stating "In a lot of ways, Tory Lanez feels like something of an old-school hip-hop star. In recent years, a generation of young rappers transcended SoundCloud to become true icons, sharing bracing admissions about mental health and drug use (many also doomed, from Lil Peep to Juice WRLD)."[9] He also stated that "Lanez is a more complex artist that many give him credit for."[9]

In his home country of Canada, the album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, earning a total number of 10 million on-demand streams in its first week, becoming his second number-one debut in the country.[11]
