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.
You
Don Toliver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You couldn't get any better, baby (ooh, ooh)
Your lips taste like candy cane, do tell (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're my baby (yeah)
So amazin', when I'm goin' in it
Please don't make me think of it
Like a game with a defect (yeah)
I know you love to play games (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh), but it ain't no recess
Around my town, they know my name (ah, ah, ah), I put it on Jesus
I booked your plane to come my way
I gotta meet ya
Starrin' in my musical, without no feature
Do me a favor (do me a favor), and call a nigga back (a nigga)
I can't contain ya (I can't cont-)
'Cause you've been in your bag (you been in your)
And hop in your safe (hop in your)
I'll make sure that you're bad (Ooh, ooh)
You ain't different (you ain't), I'll make sure you know that you're mine
I (I), baby, don't lie (ooh, ooh)
You ain't doin' alright (I)
You ain't different, you
You ain't different, think of throwin' back
Back, back (woo)
You ain't doin' alright
Back
You ain't different, you
Before I break up out this place, take a eighth, and levitate
A lil' brown skin hurricane, a bay-bay, bring the wave
TBA for the time and the space, lock the day
Know you like to coordinate
Know it's good, see the hood in your face
Know you like to ride the wood, wanna see you do it like we in the H
Body good, body great
Below the waist, real estate
Know you like to ride the wood, wanna see you do it like we in the H
Please, don't make me think of it
Like you can't make a difference (difference, difference)
You talk to me dirty, I'm talking back like a reflex
(Talkin' back like a-, like a-, talkin' back like a-, like a-)
I know you love to play games, but it ain't no recess (recess, recess)
Around my town, they knowin' my name, I put it on Jesus (Jesus, Jesus)
The song "You" by Don Toliver featuring Travis Scott is a sultry track about their seductive experiences with women. The verse starts with Don Toliver describing how his lover is perfect in every way, especially her lips that taste like candy canes. He goes on to say that he gets lost in the moment when he's with her and asks her not to make him think too much about it. When she talks dirty to him, he responds quickly and eagerly. He knows she likes playing games, but he's not interested in recess. He's serious about this and even swears on his faith that everyone in his town knows her name.
In the chorus, Don Toliver emphasises that his lover is not different from the others he's been with, but he's going to make sure she knows that she's his. He implores her not to lie to him and insists that everything is not alright if she does. The bridge is more sensual, with Toliver expressing his desire for his lover and admitting how much he enjoys it when she rides him like they're in their hometown, H-Town. The song ends similarly to how it began, with Don Toliver reminding his lover not to make him think too much and to keep playing dirty with him.
