Tell me what you need
Passion or independence
I can be a good addition
Or I can be the one to make a difference
I can be your new edition
Can you stand the rain
And when the grey clouds roll away
Does the sun reveal your pain
I’m here to bring you comfort
And to not bring you disdain
Life too’s short for the what if’s
I’m here for the what’s next
And when you ready to partake
I’ll be here to send that text
Tell me what you need
Temporary or permanence
Kick them old habits to the curb
And say to them good riddance
That strength is working out for you
You got used to all the resistance
And go bask in the greatness
I’ll be waiting for you in an instance
2020 brought forth a lot of new artists to the spotlight. One of those artists to do so was Houston, TX rapper/singer, Don Toliver. Many were first introduced to the musician on Travis Scott’s single, “Can’t Say,” off his last album, ASTROWORLD. He signed to the rapper’s Cactus Jack label and went on to release a steady flow of music from features to a compilation album for the group, Jackboys. His first studio album, Heaven or Hell, was released right before the pandemic at the beginning of March and became a viral sensation for the singles, “No Idea,” “After Party,” and “Had Enough” on TikTok.
This week, Don Toliver returns with new music of his own for his sophomore effort coming this summer. His first single, “What You Need,” released last week and the musician’s signature sound shines through on the melodic beat. His ability to go back and forth between rapping and singing is effortless on the heavy hitting instrumental. I can see this song being played in the clubs all summer long. I can’t wait to see what collaborations come from his sophomore effort.
