Eric Bellinger tells HipHopDX he thought he had a friend in Tory Lanez, his fellow new school crooner, but a particular record (and a few interviews) leading up to the release of Memories Don’t Die allowed him to believe otherwise.

“Your only talent is mimicking anyone that’s talented/Released a couple singles to your fans, you was red hot/Surely had a change of heart the day after ya album dropped/Stole a vibe from Trey Song/Took a flow a from K. Dot/Kinda sound like Fetty Wap/Damnit Tory, when will it stop?”

“I have the new album, Eazy Call, dropping on April 6 where you’ll hear all original music,” he continued. “I have Tink, Mila J, Wale and more on the album. It’s going to be an experience.”
