Don Toliver enlists Travis Scott for the deluxe edition of "Love Sick."

Don Toliver finally came through with his latest body of work this weekend, Love Sick. Though he largely remained low in 2022, he assured fans that he was working on his next body of work. Throughout the year, he delivered a few guest appearances and “Do It Right,” which kicked the campaign off for the project. However, he didn’t necessarily provide any major updates on the project until earlier this year when he unloaded the single, “4 Me” ft. Kali Uchis.

Love Sick found Don Toliver working alongside a significant amount of collaborators from across the world. Artists like James Blake and WizKid contributed to the tracklist, while many of hip-hop’s mainstays, such as Lil Durk and Future, delivered with guest appearances. Additionally, Don Toliver worked alongside figures like Brent Faiyaz, Toro Y Moi, and Charlie Wilson. Despite the incredible list of artists featured on the projects, Cactus Jack head honcho, Travis Scott was nowhere to be found. However, Toliver shared the deluxe edition with four new songs this morning, including the long-awaited collab alongside the Astroworld artist.

Don Toliver - “Embarrassed” ft. Travis Scott

The deluxe edition of Love Sick contains several new records that expand the original 16-song tracklist to 20 but it seems like Toliver saved his anticipated collab with Travis Scott for the re-release. The two rappers join forces, once again, for their latest collaboration, “Embarrassed” produced by Wheezy. Their spacey, melodic deliveries take center stage over the psychedelic string-laden production as they reflect on sex, diamonds, and living a life of luxury.

“Embarrassed” further extends Don Toliver and Travis Scott’s impressive track record together they built over the years. Scott appeared twice on Life Of A Don on “You” and “Flocky Flocky.” Additionally, they connected on “Euphoria.” Most recently, they shared the mic on DJ Khaled’s “Let’s Pray.” Check out their latest collab above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
She want me to meet both parents 
And these diamonds on me shinin' like the iPhone
Kickback hit it like a rifle
Fuck around and die, might snipe you
Vibe it, baby, I like you
