Draya Michele stars in Don Toliver’s new visual for “Cardigan”
The track can be found on Toliver’s debut album ‘Heaven Or Hell.’
Don Toliver has definitely solidified his place as one of the premiere artists of the new wave — mainly in part thanks to his contributions to the Travis Scott-led JackBoys project, as well as his official solo debut Heaven Or Hell. Following videos for “After Party” and “Can’t Feel My Legs,” the Houston artist drops off a new clip for “Cardigan,” which was produced by CVRE, MIDO, Frank Dukes and Sonny Digital and sees Toliver living it up with his special someone:
“I’m finna stand tall in it, I’m all in it, you be on my back like a cardigan, call her again, I’m in love with your friend, we be doing dirt, you hide the evidence/
It’s evident that you ready to rock, hop up in my Jeep and put your pride to the side, go against the gang, you must be ready to hide/
Swangin’ on the corner, bang my TEC ‘til it pop, I thought I was a goner, blessed to your honor, burn marijuana, deep down in designer…/”
The video doesn’t see an appearance from Don Toliver at all — instead, actress/model Draya Michele takes the spotlight as a scorned lover who decided to break into Toliver’s home while he’s not around. She can be seen rummaging through his kitchen, playing pool, and — toward the end — stripping down and creating a sexy video of her own. She then high-tails it when someone, presumed to be Toliver, returns to the residence.
In a recent interview with Complex, Toliver spoke on how he plans to continue to ascend in his career:
“I’m locked in crazy right now… I’m just maintaining my vibe. Making sure I never lose the shit that keeps my shit running, my thought process. The shit that makes me happy: recording. I’m making sure I don’t lose sense of that. Recording is the most humbling, grounding thing. I just lock in, block out the outside world, and create my own universe.”
