\t\t\t\t\tDon Toliver: Photos From the Billboard Cover\u00a0Shoot\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe hard work has paid off for Toliver, as 2026 has been a year of raising the bar. He earned his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200<\/a> with OCTANE<\/em>, which arrived in late January, and saw all 18 tracks from the LP hit the Billboard Hot 100. <\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing performances from openers like Chase B, Yakiyn and Sosocamo, Toliver hit the Moody Amphitheater stage shortly after 9:30 p.m. CT in front of nearly 5,000 raucous fans in Austin. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt was a victory lap of sorts for Toliver, who has been steadily climbing the ranks in rap\u2019s food chain before making the quantum leap to join his mentor Travis Scott as part of the genre\u2019s A-list with OCTANE<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\tDraped in a dove white jacket with matching pants and boots courtesy of designer Dingyun Zhang, the Texas native kicked off his set with a slowed-down intro riding into his OCTANE<\/em> opener \u201cE85.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe temperature got turned up several notches on a mild Austin night with Toliver\u2019s Justin Timberlake-sampling anthem \u201cBODY\u201d sending the crowd into a frenzy, which was followed by the moshpit-inducing nature of \u201cOPPOSITE.\u201d<\/p>\n
