Clash Magazine - Issue 123

Don Toliver is the first face of Clash 123.

Perhaps the hottest young rapper in America right now, Don Toliver has spent the year gaining critical plaudits and dominating the Billboard charts. Yet his rise has been far from easy – the ‘Life Of A Don’ may look alluring from the outside, but the status his profile occupies has been earned the hard way.

In this rare and exclusive cover interview Don Toliver reflects on his roots, and how these still define his work-hard ethos. From his Texas upbringing to first aligning with Travis Scott’s imprint Cactus Jack, this is the full story of his emphatic rise – and what could come next.
