Before Don Toliver would feature on Travis Scott’s hit single “Can’t Say” off of AstroWorld.
Before Don Toliver had over 700K followers on Instagram, 100K followers on Twitter, and was fast approaching ½ a million subscribers on KZbin at the time of this recording…
Before Don Toliver would accompany The Weeknd on his most recent world tour…
Don Toliver has been a fixture of Houston’s hip-hop and R & B scene since dropping his first joint mixtape, “Playa Familia” back in 2017. Subsequent hits like “No Idea”, and his collab on “Can’t Say” with Travis Scott and “No Regrets” with Eminem have only furthered his new-found fame and name recognition the world over.
For years, it’s seemed like the main problem with artists coming out of Houston is that most people would have trouble relating to the culture down there if they weren’t already a part of it. It's a bit of a mixed batch of talent from Destiny's Child to the late DJ Screw and more recently Travis Scott. For whatever reason, the musical identity of the town just didn’t translate to the rest of the world. So how did Don Toliver manage to buck that trend? That’s what we’re here to find out.

Honestly Houston has a lot of potential to have rappers like people in Atlanta and people like Don Toliver can make it happen

[@jesseoliver3183]

Dude you are right! Even when Houston music wasn't mainstream I was listening to certain artists music and Houston just has that unique sound and once you hear a little bit of it, it's hard to get out of your system. I also listened to alot of legends music out of Houston like bun b, mike jones, slim thug, paul wall, dj screw. Its just an amazing sound!

[@romaeronova]

💯✨

[@Chasewelldagreat]

Houston artist don’t like signing

[@Spd61able]

hell yeah we h-town don't produce nothing but talents

[@TrappyFace]

atlanta is trap rap houston is wavy melodic

[@OFFICIALLUSH]

Dons got such a unique voice. His sound cannot be compared to anyone else’s. It’s like a soulful, old timer kind of vibe in his tone, which makes him stand out so much.

[@Xthreeofthe757]

He took ynw melly sound

[@samevan4057]

Dunno if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last few days :)

[@mitchellroger1924]

@Sam Evan definitely, I've been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)

[@juswolf22]

He sounds like mark morrison

[@kyhxx]

pharrell said this - * copy paste *

[@jellyzzz9766]

Don toliver gotta be on xxl this year dude been working hard his album was so good and has alot of potential to have longevity.

[@branwenberttle1838]

Cactus Jack 👍🌵🔥

[@teo_2xx]

The Goat agreed 💯💯

[@dknon853]

Nah he doesn’t even need xxl,that’s shits a joke,don can make it big on his own

[@dknon853]

The Goat ye everyone’s already heard no idea or gang gang,he doesn’t need xxl

[@ronellefaithlukas1605]

He pitched last year but didnt make it to the top whatever....

[@05RUNNA]

It’s sad how nobody knew about his music before no idea and it took this long for this video to go up, first it was no idea which came out months and months before tik tok made it famous and then after party is now doing the same thing but I’m glad he’s now getting the recognition he deserves, as soon as I heard he was going to be on astroworld I looked him up and I really liked his music 100%

[@T.Roy16]

Jalen Jagdeo Fr mfs wasn’t listening to donny womack when it first came out 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@SkillerGamer]

@@T.Roy16 it's better than his new one

[@05RUNNA]

HEAD HUNXHO Donny Womack was a masterpiece my favs are diva, 2 lil shorty and talk no more

[@05RUNNA]

SkillerGamer I rlly like his new one too especially candy

[@akonlouis4891]

After “Can’t Say” I really had to figure out who was featured! Glad I did my research, Don T is one of my favorites rn

[@yusupl0v]

my homie used to work with him as loss prevention at Ross. Said he was a humble dude and even gave him a ride one day.

[@yannnyannn5232]

Thats where I know him from!!! I was surpursed when I discovered his first track

[@blin6005]

Since the first time i heard him on "Can't say" i knew that he gon be the next star

[@prostovasko]

Blin same man

[@s.s5933]

When I heard him on "gang" I had that feeling too

[@NoOnesMemes]

I heard him one day way back, and have been listening to him ever since

[@onlyfans5150]

Ever since can’t say I knew he’d be a star so happy for this guy

[@charie.8226]

i just love don toliver, every single song issa vibe👽👽.

[@Teannaschannel]

i say this all the timeee!! 😭

[@girishswamigs4740]

don voice is different than other rappers

[@davidchavez7242]

Tbh I think a lot of people like Houston music without even knowing it, Mike Dean was serving those beats since Kanye's Graduation and all of Trav and now Don. I think Houston needs it's own record label like Jackboys and just put everyone in Texas on.

[@anesiphostofile4883]

Am I the only one who just loves Don Toliver!?

[@laflame5834]

The 77nerds lmao

[@ravvgg5564]

No

[@alit90]

lol you’re on a video full of comments praising and loving Don and you ask if you’re the only one? Cmon bruh

[@farrightextremist4324]

Yea you're the only one

[@lestersanchez1996]

He really didn’t talk about heaven or hell smh ... amazing album from don 👏🏼

[@izkray]

Yessir! 🔥 *Cardigan* is a vibe

[@pinkpantheressstann]

But Had Enough is an intellectual psychodelic transition of phases

[@mysteriousmoon7101]

[@Funkmane]

Have you heard spaceship?

[@obsessiondesigns]

[@DS-qp7qf]

[@kianibelgrave8134]

[@john-eman]

[@dreams4359]

Kiani Belgrave bro said said

[@zerodoggies6337]

[@aeisha1491]

Kiani Belgrave I know that lowkey made kinda mad like tf lmao 😂

[@zaynesky]

Don Toliver is on Travis Scott level but no one will admit it

[@IdobReckon]

Nichel Maycock I’m a Don Toliver fan but he’s not lmao

[@zaynesky]

Cruz Velasquez He is, his cadences and melodies are unmatched, there’s a reason Weeknd chose him to tour with him. Success wise he’s not on Travis level but talent/skill wise he is

[@IdobReckon]

Nichel Maycock ohh okay that where you coming from I thought u was talm bout fame. But hy don Toliver Is very talented & creative just like Travis

[@ilyas4105]

[@jpmontez100]

[@SSJTrent]

I love don toliver I knew he was gonna be great ever since I heard about him in 2018 he is only gonna get bigger he is still so underrated. I’m thankful travis brought him to the game. Travis and Don goats forever

[@empathytrail4758]

YEEEEESSSSS Give this man love

[@ethanbeiswenger4967]

Im honestly very surprised he didn’t mention his song “After Party” its one of his and if not his most popular song.

[@Mapmigi]

THIS MAN SAID “SADE” it’s pronounced Sha-day.

[@7Halos]

Dorieyn Pope you can’t spell

[@duduman05]

[@comicalkilla]

Then "Swissa House'..😳😐

[@afrothundar]
