Don Toliver's solo debut came just a few months later, with the debut singles "I Gotta" and "Diva" dropping in November and December, respectively. However, the singles quickly caught the ear of Atlantic Records, which signed Toliver to the label in March 2018. Under Atlantic, he released his major-label debut album, Donny Womack.
While working on the tape, Toliver caught the attention of fellow Houston native Travis Scott, who invited the young rapper to Hawaii to work on a song on his then-upcoming third studio album, ASTROWORLD. Eagerly accepting, the sessions landed Toliver a feature on the album's thirteenth track, "CAN'T SAY" by Travis Scott, inspiring him to record much of the material for Donny Womack.
On August 3, 2018, the same day as Travis released his album, he gave a major cosign to Toliver on Twitter:
Coincidentally, on August 2, 2018, Toliver dropped his project, Donny Womack, the day before ASTROWORLD.
Genius caught up with the rising Houston artist just a few days before ASTROWORLD's release to discuss his relationship with Travis, going to Hawaii for the ASTROWORLD sessions, and his hopes for Donny Womack as his profile gets a dramatic boost.
When Genius asked him about how he met Travis and his relationship with him, he replied:
"When I first started linking up with Travis, somebody from my camp reached out to somebody in his camp. I sent them music and videos and it got to Travis and he was feeling it. He came back and we were able to link up and vibe."
In May 2019, he released his single "No Idea," the lead single of his March 2020 debut studio album, Heaven Or Hell. "No Idea" got its popularity from the viral social media app TikTok, on all the lip-sync and dance videos on the app.
In December 2019, JACKBOYS (Cactus Jack Records members) and Travis Scott released their compilation album, JACKBOYS. On the album, Toliver has a track titled "Had Enough" (also on Heaven Or Hell) featuring Quavo and Offset from the hip-hop trio Migos. He was also featured on another track by JACKBOYS and Travis, titled "WHAT TO DO?" from the album. In addition, he, Travis, and Luxury Tax provided vocals on another track by JACKBOYS and Sheck Wes, titled "GANG GANG."
On January 17, 2020, Toliver took another giant leap in his career. American rapper Eminem released his eleventh studio album, Music to Be Murdered By, in which Toliver featured on the eighteenth track, "No Regrets." The song's producer, D.A. Doman, recruited Toliver to record and sing the chorus at the "last minute."
On March 13, 2020, Toliver released Heaven Or Hell, his debut studio album, through Cactus Jack Records and Atlantic Records. It contains features from Travis Scott, Kaash Paige, Quavo, Offset, and Sheck Wes.
On October 8, 2021, Toliver released Life of A Don, his second studio album, through Cactus Jack Records and Atlantic Records. It contains features from Travis Scott, Kali Uchis, Baby Keem, HVN, and SoFaygo.

Who steady copped the keys to my spaceship?
Sellin' all Alicia Keys, she on my playlist (yeah, yeah)
I am not receiving, you know I don't take shit
I, I, I spilled lean all in my ride (lean all in my ride)
Dumpin' ashes on your thigh (ashes on your thigh)
You might be ready for surprise, oh
Who steady copped the keys to my spaceship?
Sellin' all Alicia Keys, she on my playlist (yeah, yeah)
I am not receiving, you know I don't take shit
I'm in my spaceship (whatever), getting that facelift (uh-huh)
L.a. Daytrip, I'm eating them rib tips
Call up the ref, I'm balling
Pouring it, so we're falling
Twenty-five hundred for the cardigan
Saint Laurent, my dawgs in
I get a little impatient
Who steady copped the keys to my spaceship?
Sellin' all Alicia Keys, she on my playlist
I am not receiving, you know I don't take shit
It's the new age flex, hoppin' out of the jet
Spend a ticket on Rolex, plus the ice on your neck
Buss it down and collect, send that money through text
You can hit me on my phone, you can call me direct
I, I, I spilled lean all in my ride
Dumpin' ashes on your thigh (yeah)

Sheck and Don on a different time and payment
All my cars from Europe, his car from Avis
Every day I wake up, new whips hit the pavement
I had to watch my living
I don't know no limits at all, all, all
I get a lil' impatient (yeah, yeah)
Who steady copped the keys to my spaceship?
Sellin' all Alicia Keys, she on my playlist (yeah, yeah)

In "Spaceship," Don Toliver and Sheck Wes are essentially boasting about their material possessions and wealth. They start off by expressing impatience and frustration at someone who may have taken the keys to their spaceship, a metaphorical representation of their luxurious lifestyle. They also mention selling "all Alicia Keys," suggesting that they have moved on to bigger and better things. They continue to assert their dominance and superiority over others, saying that they do not take any disrespect and that they are always balling.
