Don Toliver Drops an Album That’s Easy to Love And Hard to Get Sick Of

Don Toliver’s chart-topping album, \textit{Heaven or Hell}, is a sonic testament to the Houston rapper’s ability to craft a body of work that is both intricate and accessible. With an eclectic blend of genres and a penchant for experimentation, Toliver has created an LP that is both difficult to tire of and easy to love.

The album is a dizzyingly diverse collection of sounds that moves seamlessly from genre to genre. Toliver’s affinity for soulful R&B is evident on tracks such as “Candy” and “After Party,” while the rapper’s knack for crafting introspective, technically-accomplished verses can be seen on the tracks “Can’t Feel My Legs” and “Had Enough.” The production on the album is equally impressive, as Toliver’s production team – comprised of prominent names such as Boi-1da, Hit-Boy and Cardo – blends trap beats with elements of jazz, funk and psychedelia.

Toliver’s skillful songwriting and the album’s production also shine on the album’s more emotive cuts. On songs such as “No Idea,” Toliver’s lyrics and melodic delivery capture the despondency of being in a relationship with someone who ignores you, while the production, composed of ethereal synths and echoing drums, create an atmosphere of dreamy desolation. The album is capped off with the star-studded track “Had Enough,” which sees Toliver, Travis Scott and Kaash Paige trading verses over a cacophonous, dizzying beat.

\textit{Heaven or Hell} is a cutting-edge display of Toliver’s talent and versatility. His ability to craft an album that is both difficult to tire of and easy to love is a testament to the rapper’s skill and artistry. With its eclectic blend of genres and technically-accomplished verses, the album is a masterful display of hip-hop that is sure to be a classic.
