Don Toliver Essentials

Don Toliver specialises in aesthetics. Since arriving on the national stage with an appearance on Travis Scott’s Astroworld, he’s blended his elastic voice with surreal soundscapes on his way to becoming one of the more engrossing stylists of his generation. For Scott’s “Can’t Say”, Toliver stretches his alien tenor across Western guitar for a vibey rumination on intoxicated trysts. On Internet Money's “Lemonade”, he pushes his vocals even further as his yelps turn braggadocio into something that feels a lot more profound than codeine and flashy jewellery. Floating above cosmic Metro Boomin production, he sounds disembodied as he reflects on fame and its accompaniments. A successor of Travis Scott, Toliver turns beats into cinematic experiences—showcases for atmosphere and otherworldly style.
