It’s about time. Ski Mask the Slump God was part of the Soundcloud generation that broke out in the 2010s. He worked closely with other Florida rappers like XXXTentacion and Denzel Curry, while at the same time carving out his own eccentric lane. His debut album, Stokeley, was a testament to this. The thing is, Stokeley came out in 2018. Fans have waited six years to hear new Ski Mask music. Thankfully, the wait is over. The sophomore album, 11th Dimension, is almost here.
Ski Mask the Slump God dropped an album teaser on June 1. The teaser opens on complete darkness, while an elderly voice asks the rapper where he’s been. Then there’s a hard cut to his face in close up, which is shrouded in darkness. The elderly voice continues to question Ski Mask’s absence. “They are asking where you are,” the voice states. “Asking where you have been.” The rapper then turns his head up, showing that half of his face is scarred. “Said I’m fighting my demons,” he says, before giving us a glimpse of a verse from the album.
The most unexpected part of the teaser, however, comes at the tail end. The camera zooms out to show Ski Mask the Slump God sitting on the floor of an empty white room. He can be seen wearing white angel wings, and his arms are tied. Hard cut to the release date, which is June 7. This is a thrilling development for an album that was first announced in 2021. Ski Mask revealed the album title, 11th Dimension, a year later, and there have been two singles released thus far. “Shibuya” dropped in March, and “Headrush” in May.
Ski Mask the Slump God has kept his inspiration behind a secret, but he did tease a dream list of collabs for 11th Dimension back in 2021. “I want to try and have Tyler, the Creator on it,” he told XXL. “I want to try and have Don Toliver, try and have Dominic Fike. He’s somebody I’ve always wanted to work with… I want to try and work with Post [Malone] at least.” There hasn’t been an official tracklist released, so it’s unclear whether Ski Mask was able to secure any of these features for the finished product.
Don Toliver has announced that his forthcoming album Hardstone Psycho will be dropping on June 14. While there are very few details regarding the tracklist, features, and general content of the project, fans are already excited about a myriad of possibilities. Hardstone Psycho will serve as a follow-up effort to Don Toliver’s 2023 album Love Sick. While many fans appreciated Love Sick upon release, the album failed to leave a truly memorable mark on the hip hop world, meaning there’s a bit of pressure on Don to deliver a classic with Hardstone Psycho. Regardless, here are five things that fans would be overjoyed to see on Don Toliver’s new album this summer.
Don Toliver and Kali Uchis have been a romantic item for over four years, which may surprise some fans. In fact, Kali recently gave birth to Toliver’s first child, linking the pair for the foreseeable future. Given that the couple share such a strong bond, it would only make sense to see Kali Uchis popping up in a few key placements on Don Toliver’s latest album. The couple have previously collaborated on songs such as “Fantasy,” “4 Me,” and “Drugs N Hella Melodies.”
The existing promotional material for Hardstone Psycho points to the project exhibiting themes of personal vulnerability combined with hard-edge trap bangers. Both of these musical styles seem like the perfect backdrop for the musical power couple, especially now that they share a child together.
Like the other signees of Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack outfit, Don Toliver has made a name for himself off his festival appeal. The 29-year-old vocalist has garnered a reputation for delivering electrifying sounds that stir up crowds, and Hardstone Psycho‘s June release makes it ideal for a few Summer anthems. With any luck, Don Toliver’s upcoming album will have at least 2 or 3 contenders for song of the Summer, even if they do have to compete with smash hits like Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” or Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby.“
3. An Appearance From Travis Scott & Other Hip Hop Icons
As mentioned above, Don Toliver is famously signed to Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack imprint, and the pair have collaborated on numerous hit records. Travis holds front-and-center features on each of Don Toliver’s previous albums, making it something of a no-brainer for the Houston MCs to continue linking on Hardstone Psycho.
Don Toliver’s projects tend to be a bit feature-heavy, meaning there should be plenty of room for acts like James Blake, Nav, Sheck Wes, and other frequent collaborators to jump on the album as well. While Don has shown time and time again that he can carry a record without any assistance, fans would surely love to hear him showcasing his chemistry with a few of his industry friends.
When Don Toliver announced that his forthcoming album would be titled Hardstone Psycho, many fans were a bit confused. After all, many listeners wouldn’t describe Toliver’s smooth, rhythmic vocals as “psychotic.” The confusion cleared up as Don began rolling out the project with several singles and visuals, including the recent track “Attitude.”
Apparently, the album is meant to serve as a tribute to Don Toliver’s late uncle, who served as a guiding force in Toliver’s life before passing away. His uncle was part of a motorcycle gang, hence the imagery and aesthetic used in the “Attitude” music video and subsequent album promo. If Don Toliver follows through on this premise, paying homage to his lost loved ones, we’re hoping to hear a few deep and emotional cuts on this album, dotted between the fast-paced party tracks.
1. A Tight, Concise Tracklist
While Don Toliver’s skills are certainly appreciated on albums such as Love Sick and Life Of A Don, these albums have been criticized for dragging out their runtime with unnecessary filler. In the modern streaming era, short concise tracklists loaded with non-stop hits tend to perform well, as they provide infinite replayability over time. With any luck, Hardstone Psycho will clock in at only 10-14 tracks, offering a perfect blend of laid-back chill vibes, festival bangers, and emotional deep cuts, without overstaying its welcome. No matter what Don Toliver delivers on his upcoming album, we’re sure that his core fanbase will be head over heels for the fresh release. The project has already produced a few hot singles, offering some real promise of the quality of the overall work. Hardstone Psycho drops June 14.
Cash Cobain has become everybody’s favorite collaborator. He linked up with Ice Spice on the remix to his breakout single “Fisherrr,” and produced the hypnotic beat for the new Don Toliver song “Attitude.” There’s something about his glitchy, “sexy drill” (as he describes it) that is irresistible to major artists, and J Cole is the latest to get the Cobain stimulus package. The Dreamville rapper, and unfortunate causality in the Big Three battle, is back doing what he does best. Well, sort of.
Cash Cobain sounds slick as ever on “Grippy.” He produced the beat, and the way he effortlessly glides over each little glitch and bouncy drum pattern feels symbiotic. As with all producer/rappers, they have the benefit of knowing what will sound best on their own music. “Destiny, I’m tryna give you the best of me,” he raps. “I wanna kill it like rest in peace, Eat on that p**sy like it was a recipe, like Shanti, I wanna make you a mommy.” These lines are not profound in any way, but they match “Grippy”‘s glitchy drums like a glove.
Cash Cobain Drops Off A Memorable “Sexy Drill” Track
J. Cole also started out as a producer/rapper. He’s proven himself to be extremely versatile in both fields, but there’s something about Cash Cobain’s production that trips him up. Cole starts the song, and while he has time to fire off a few memorable bars, he never really finds his footing. There’s a reliance on Auto Tune that’s unpleasant to the ear, and a repetitive rhyme scheme that makes sense, yet quickly runs out of steam. J. Cole is trying to approach “Grippy” like most guest verses, but this is one of the first times where it sounds like he’s blatantly chasing a trendy sound.
His Big Three peer, Drake, has also worked with Cash Cobain on “Calling for You,” but the 6 God has always been better at absorbing trends and making them sound natural. Cole can do lots of things, but he can’t do that. A solid song, but one in which Cobain is carrying his feature.
What are your thoughts on this new song, “Grippy” by Cash Cobain and J. Cole? Does Cobain carry the song? Is J. Cole better than we gave him credit for? Do you want to hear more collabs between them in the future? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cash Cobain. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Quotable Lyrics
When she see me, she say she gon’ strip me She gon’ chew on the stick like it’s Wrigleys Mm, yеah, believe it or not likе Ripley’s She said she was gay until I slayed, now she’s strictly— As soon as she page, I’m on the way, and I be showin’ up quickly
Throughout the rollout of Don Toliver’s new album — which began in February with the release of his “Bandit” video — the Houston rapper appeared to be embracing a motorcycle club motif in the vein of groups like the Hell’s Angels and shows like Sons Of Anarchy. That theme continued in his “Deep In The Water” video, which showed off his and Kali Uchis’ first child together.
Today, Toliver revealed the cover art and the title for the album, which is called Hardstone Psycho. Again, the motorcycle club motif appears on the cover, with Toliver decked out in riding leathers and holding a flag bearing a club logo alongside his chopper. Hardstone Psycho will be Don Toliver’s fourth studio album, following 2023’s Love Sick.
The announcement was accompanied by his new single, “Attitude,” which features Charlie Wilson and Cash Cobain. You can listen to it below.
In April, Don Toliver was cited for driving under the influence after being pulled over for speeding in Southern California. However, he avoided arrest and was released into the custody of another person who was in the vehicle at the time.
Hardstone Psycho is due on 6/14 via Cactus Jack/Atlantic. You can find more information here.
Don Toliver is instantly recognizable. He has one of the most distinct voices in all of hip-hop, and the ability to sound good alongside pretty much anybody. Metro Boomin called Toliver the Nate Dogg to his Dr. Dre, and the comparison has been apt so far. Toliver recently teased a new song during a live show, and he sampled a different member of the Death Row family. A different member of the Dogg family, too. Don Toliver flipped a classic Snoop Dogg record and fans are itching to find out when it will officially be released.
The song is titled “Attitude,” and Toliver hyped up the crowd right before playing it. “If you got a shot or something, you better that motherf*cker,” he stated. “I’m ready to go up.” The DJ then cuts in the iconic Snoop Dogg and Pharrell single “Beautiful.” Toliver’s version starts off the same, with Pharrell’s isolated vocals, but the rest of the song is completely different. “Attitude” chops up the Pharrell hook with some glitchy trap drums, and the effect is mesmerizing. Toliver doesn’t even bother singing at first, he just lets the beat shine.
“Attitude” is produced by Cash Cobain and features backing vocals from Charlie Wilson. That’s the way the song has been credited so far, at least. It’s unclear whether Uncle Wilson contributed new vocals to the song, or if he’s credited because he appeared on the original Snoop Dogg song. Either way, the live snippet has gone viral on social media, with some claiming that Don Toliver has a potential “song of the summer” on his hands. It’s hard to disagree once one listens to “Attitude.”
Don Toliver and Cash Cobain aren’t the only artists who have flipped “Beautiful” in recent years. The 1998 smash served as the musical basis for Jack Harlow’s 2022 album cut “Side Piece.” The general consensus among fans, however, was that Harlow’s take was too reliant on the original, and failed to carve its own musical path. Cobain’s flip of the original on “Attitude” sounds inspired by comparison. Toliver has been teasing the release of his upcoming album since March, and it’s safe to assume this track will make the cut.
Yeat has been going on an underrated run this year, especially when you factor in all of the rap beefs and major releases. His latest album 2093, while divisive, did receive a lot of love from critics and is seen as his best work to date. The Oregon-bred and California-based rapper really expanded on his distorted and futuristic rage sound, and it has placed him in a playing field with the genre’s biggest competitors. Over the months following the project, Yeat has been dropping some fire singles, with “King tonka and “Heavy stunts” being two more welcome additions.
This two-pack supersedes his trippy Soundcloud release “HeliMan” from just two weeks ago. It is not clear if these tracks are hinting at a new project, or a separate version of 2093 like how we got with P2 (Phase 2). For now, we are just enjoying this twofer for what they are, which is spacey trap bangers. Both are solid offerings, but “Heavy stunts” is one we want to highlight.
Listen To “King Tonka” & “Heavy Stunts” By Yeat & Don Toliver
This first-ever collaboration between Yeat and Don Toliver is a good first look at what these two could put forth in the future. It is a duo we can certainly see producing more in the future based on their similar approaches. When Don pops in for the second verse, he begins by mimicking Yeat’s deep, monotone cadence before bringing out his higher-pitched and nasally delivery we are accustomed to. Their chemistry is off to a great start, and we cannot wait for more.
What are your thoughts on these brand-new singles “King tonka” and “Heavy stunts” by Yeat and Don Toliver? Which track are you enjoying more right now and why? Do you need more Don Toliver collabs going forward? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Yeat and Don Toliver. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Quotable Lyrics From “Heavy stunts”:
All these h*es were poppin’ the mollies Pulled off on a Harley (Err), why these h*es wanna top me Why my fans wanna crowd me? Tell me how this soundin’ We trappin’ out the Downey (We chop—), on top of the mountain My diamonds got from drownin’ (We chop—) Ha-ha, this s*** a big-big business, smoke you down like a cigar
Don Toliver was arrested earlier today (April 9) on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to a report from TMZ.
The outlet received a report from California Highway Patrol, which noted that the Love Sick artist was pulled over for speeding near the San Fernando Valley in southern California. According to TMZ, cops had reason to believe Toliver was under the influence as he was behind the wheel.
The report notes that authorities noticed signs of impairment, however, Toliver was simply released in the field and given a citation, rather than cuffing him and taking him to jail. Officers also noted that Toliver was cooperating the whole time. Toliver was to the custody of another party who was sober and with him at the time. The report does not indicate who the other party was, however, nobody involved was reported to be injured or hurt at the time.
Don Toliver is still one of the more entertaining voices in hip-hop right now. His unique, nasally, high-pitched voice makes him standout out from most of the competition. Furthermore, he has the support of artists like Travis Scott, which means he has a great ear for beats and atmosphere. All of that has translated to some memorable tracks of the 2020 decade and some solid records. However, some could make the case that he has not truly capitalized on any four of his studio releases. But, those arguments might be put to rest after Don Toliver drops his next offering, Hardstone Psycho.
So far, the Houston, Texas multi-hyphenate has given fans excellent tracks to chew over. “Bandit” sees the more explosive side of Don Toliver. He sounds focused and hard as all hell over the rockin’ sample flip of Tame Impala’s “One More Hour.” Then, you have “Deep in the Water,” which is the low-key and vibey version of Don T. On this cut, he displays affection and support for his girlfriend and mother of their newborn baby, Kali Uchis. What is interesting is that this song also incorporates some elements of rock with the riffing at the end.
This is part of the reason why Hardstone Psycho could be a special record for Don, but also for hip-hop. A lot of people are tired of hearing the same formula. But, effectively working in another genre like rock, could pave the way for other artists to try it as well. All of this incredible potential is why we are so amped to hear Don reveal a rough release date for the album. During his Rolling Loud set, he told the audience that they can expect it sometime this summer. He segued that announcement into an incredible head-knocking preview with even more solo guitar work. Hopefully, we get both the song and album sooner than later.
What are your thoughts on Don Toliver announcing Hardstone Psycho‘s release date for the summer at Rolling Loud? Does that snippet sound like it will be the best song on the album, why or why not? Are you bumping “Deep in the Water” or “Bandit” more and why? Will this be Don’s greatest record yet? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Don Toliver and Hardstone Psycho. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.
