NGHTMRE and Tory Lanez Drop Eerie Cross-Genre Track “Wrist”

Toronto’s Tory Lanez, although primarily grounded in R&B/hip-hop (i.e. “Chixtape V,” the latest instalment in the Chixtape series, “Memories Don’t Die,” “I Told You,” etc.), just dropped a cross-genre track with EDM staple artist NGHTMRE. The track, titled “Wrist,” features Tory’s unsettling cadence, a pulse motivated by his dark, palpable masculinity. Tory’s strengths include an ability spit savage bars, verses that are as lyrically exceptional as they are melodic. In the past, Tory has proven to work well with select EDM creators, as seen with “In For It,” production by R.L. Grime.

Both Tory and NGHTMRE are no strangers to collaborations – Tory’s list of features includes Future, Drake, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, Trey Songz, Lil Wayne etc., while NGHTMRE’s includes Gunna, PnB Rock, Wiz Khalifa, Dillon Francis, Zeds Dead, Flux Pavilion, among others. What makes “Wrist” a standout among the long list of collaborations is how effortlessly NGHTMRE captures Tory’s incredibly specific flow and style, while also complimenting it via his own nuanced heaviness. NGHTMRE, yet again, proves his proclivity for working with hip-hop artists, specifically ones with grit, with dissonance, with a sort of enflamed and primal carnage.

Heralding from sunny South Florida, I am a proud Florida Woman. In my free time, I surf the swamp, wrangle gators, open fan mail, and tend to my pets. In the wild, I’m most often spotted at immersive art spaces, step tappin’ in a shadowed corner of the club, hater blockerz on, totally incognito as your resident EDM spice girl. Although I generally tout my spicy side, if there’s one thing I’d love to impress upon the world, it would be this: it’s not a waste to give love to those who do not deserve it – it’s a gift. The world would be a better place if we gave, in kindness and in mercy, to those who need it most with no expectation in return.
