@ToryLanez Drops The Visual For His Dancehall-Influenced “LUV”

Posted on by swadedavillain

With Tanto Metro & Devonte being the Influence behind this hit, Toronto Artist Tory Lanez gave fans a visual for the single, “LUV“. Featuring beautiful women, an old school ride, and some very clean shots/scenes, Tory’s Dancehall-tinged single is now more infectious than his previous hit, “Say It“. With the population in Canada being a melting pot of many cultures and nationalities, it’s no surprise when established and up and coming acts add the Caribbean Influence to their music. It would’ve been so cool to have seen Tanto and Devonte making a cameo appearance. Everyone falls in love sometimes. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

This project is moving from Glory to Glory.” Said Mykal Malachi, Representative from WAFIF.

The songs are featured on a dancehall riddim, which according to the group is simply a way to reach out to the secular crowd. “The expectations are limitless, God is doing something far above that which we can imagine and we are just allowing him to take the lead as we humbly follow.” Expressed Mykal Malachi. Ariff Butler was the genius who came up with the superb concept for the video. The video was shot in Port Royal and shows that Christians can have a fun time.

“Yes we do want people to know that when they come to God they will still be happy and have fun. Church is not boring.”

Individually Bishop McLean is one of Jamaica’s top motivational speakers. He has a powerful life changing book out now entitled “Turning Nothing into Something”.
