Rapper Don Toliver appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' to preview tracks from his upcoming album 'OCTANE'. Toliver performed a medley of 'E85' and 'Long Way To Calabasas', building anticipation for the album's release on January 30. The performance comes just days before the 18-track 'OCTANE' is set to drop, following Toliver's 2024 release 'HARDSTONE PSYCHO'.
Why it matters
A high-profile television performance so close to an album release is a strategic move by Toliver to maximize the impact of 'OCTANE' and reach a wider audience. The album is expected to build on the momentum of previously released singles 'Tiramisu' and 'ATM', and Toliver has several festival appearances planned to support the new project.
The details
Toliver's 'E85' track, named after the high-octane fuel, features lyrics about a 'brand new Hummer' and a preference for a 'see-through romper' on his significant other. 'Long Way To Calabasas' was produced by Synthetic and Fendii, who have previously worked with Yeat, and is expected to include a feature from the artist.
- Don Toliver performed on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on Monday, January 26, 2026.
