Play Picasso

Before Play Picasso became one of Tory Lanez’s go-to producers, Daniel Gonzalez was a high school dropout with a GED. He was born in Cuba and raised in Miami, stringing together odd jobs in fast food restaurants and on construction sites. Today, his music is a cornerstone of Lanez’s major label debut I Told You, appearing on ten of the album’s fourteen songs, and on all of its skits. But what you hear on this project is just a sampling of the Play Picasso aesthetic.

He told The FADER over email.
