Don Toliver has handed the opening shot of his next album to a skateboarder. The Houston singer and rapper released “Party With The Boys” on November 13, and the official video on his own YouTube channel brings in skateboarding star Bam Margera, according to the announcement for the single.
The track is a quick one. Apple Music lists it as a one-song single running about two minutes, released through Cactus Jack, Donnway & Co and Atlantic Records. The same announcement calls it the first taste of his forthcoming album Nitrous and credits Tyler Ross as the video’s director.
Why a two-minute single makes sense right now
Toliver does not need a long runway. His fifth album, Octane, arrived on January 30, 2026, with 18 songs and gave him his first No. 1 album in the United States. Before that he had stacked up four top-ten albums in a row, starting with Heaven or Hell in 2020, plus breakout hits “No Idea” and “After Party” that first caught fire on TikTok.
The announcement for the new single puts Octane at 3.3 billion streams worldwide, 1.8 billion of them in the US, and says every one of its 18 tracks reached the US singles chart. With that kind of momentum, a short, loud teaser is the smart play. It keeps his name in playlists while the tour is still running and leaves the full Nitrous rollout for later.
The Margera cameo is the other signal. Toliver’s visuals have leaned on cars, clubs and night-vision haze since the “After Party” days. Pulling in a skateboarding figure tied to early-2000s stunt culture pushes the brand toward a rowdier, more comic tone, which matches a song title about a night out with friends.
How the rollout stacks up
Here is the year so far, pieced together from his discography and the single’s announcement:
- September 5, 2025: “Tiramisu” opens the Octane era
- January 30, 2026: Octane, 18 tracks, his first No. 1 album
- 2026: the Octane World Tour, then a second leg billed as Nitrous
- November 13, 2026: “Party With The Boys,” first single for Nitrous
- November 21, 2026: headline set at the Grand Theft Auto VI festival in Miami
That last date matters for fans in Florida. We reported earlier on the Grand Theft Auto VI launch festival in Miami with Travis Scott and Cardi B, and the announcement says the tour’s Nitrous leg wraps up in London after that show. Toliver also turned up last month on Offset’s Every Night, which flips a Jodeci classic.
What works, and what does not
The upside is clear: a two-minute song with a famous guest in the video is built to travel on short-form apps, the same route that made “No Idea” a hit. It also gives Toliver a fresh look after a year of Octane imagery.
The risk is that a cameo can carry a clip more than the music does. At two minutes there is little room for the slow, layered hooks that made his best songs stick, and a stunt-heavy video can date fast. A lead single sets expectations for an album, and fans will judge Nitrous on whether the full record has more weight than this sprint.
For now the numbers are the story. Toliver arrives at Miami on November 21 with a No. 1 album still on the chart, a 70-date tour, by the announcement’s count, close to its London finish, and a new single only a day old.
