Don Toliver wants his next album to deliver more while taking half the time to create.
Don Toliver has a finish line in sight for NITROUS. During his Apple Music conversation with Zane Lowe, he said the upcoming album is 85% complete, although a couple of important steps still need to happen.
He kept those remaining pieces under wraps, offering an excited “Geez” when discussing what comes after they’re handled. The update didn’t include a release date.
What he did explain was the goal: surpassing OCTANE while cutting the creative timeline in half. Don described NITROUS as a chance to prove he can make an even better album without spending as long putting it together.
“Party With The Boys” has already introduced the rollout as the lead single, giving listeners something to consider alongside those expectations.
Don Toliver already has my runner-up spot for hip-hop MVP this year, so anything beyond OCTANE feels like a bonus. But that doesn’t mean I want music that sounds like it was released just to release something. His latest single gave me that feeling. Hopefully, NITROUS has more substance, especially if he’s setting the expectation that it could surpass OCTANE.
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
