"No Pole" is a song by American rapper and singer Don Toliver. It was released through Cactus Jack and Atlantic Records as the first track from the deluxe edition of his third studio album, Love Sick, on February 28, 2023. Toliver wrote the song with producers Cardo and DJ Fresh, alongside Dougie F. The song gained mainstream popularity over a year and a half after its release due to it being played in the background of a lot of videos on the online video platform TikTok.
Composition and critical reception
[edit]Maximilian Diehl of HotNewHipHop felt that Toliver's "as the opening track on the record, one would hope for a good introduction", but "this certainly fails at that point, and it also serves as a good signpost for the rest of the album".[1] In an opposite review, Regina Cho of Revolt opined that "finds Toliver in his comfort zone with a moody instrumental for his descriptive lyrics".[2] While performing the song live, Toliver sings new vocals over the live instrumental at the end instead of singing the second verse.[3]
