"Bandit" is a song by American rapper and singer Don Toliver. It was released on February 1, 2024, through Cactus Jack, We Run It Inc and Atlantic Records as the lead single from his fourth studio album, Hardstone Psycho. The song was written by Toliver and producer ReidMB, with Australian musician Kevin Parker also credited as a songwriter due to the song "One More Hour", by his music project Tame Impala, being sampled.[1][2] Writing for Stereogum, Tom Breihan felt that the song "works pretty well as source material for the kind of hazy, expansive rap beat that Toliver's label boss Travis Scott would probably love".[3]
Music video
[edit]The official music video for "Bandit" was released alongside the song on February 1, 2024.
