LA’s funkiest giant Tolliver returns with a video that’s equal parts Booty Collins, Rick James and Sylvester, a sugar rush filled with fever dream colors, dance breaks, and petty theft.
Tolliver wakes up like the rest of us–by splashing some water on his face and getting his morning cup of coffee on the way to pick up cat number two. That was the start of his day as we interviewed him to discuss his background, music, and journey of self-discovery.
Affection, angst, abandonment—these are all elements of Tolliver’s misery on his first EP Rites.
When a somber singer takes the stage, you don’t expect them to come equipped with the quick witted banter and spring of a ringtone-era rapper, which is exactly Tolliver’s steez.
