Canadian rap star Drake links up with Don Toliver on “Solar Eclipse,” a Texas-flavoured cut from the “HABIBTI” deluxe edition.
The song came out on October 2, 2026, through OVO and Republic, and it runs 3 minutes and 38 seconds. It arrives as part of a four-track deluxe pack tied to “HABIBTI (FOMO),” the short film Drake premiered weeks earlier. The pack also includes “Cold Shoulder,” which features Don Toliver and Yebba, plus “Quebec” and “Classic Pt. 2.”
The Texas angle sits at the centre. “Solar Eclipse” interpolates Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” which has spent 24 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. It also borrows from Bun B’s 2005 classic “Get Throwed.” That choice links two eras of Texas music in one record. The lyrics name-check Houston-area suburbs like Katy, Sugar Land, and Fort Bend, so the local colour is hard to miss.
The rollout was unusual. Drake attended an Ella Langley concert in August 2026, then debuted the song during a livestream in September. He later confirmed the tracks were coming while gambling on a Kick stream. So fans heard it early, and the official release simply confirmed what they already knew.
Don Toliver is a natural fit for the setting. He grew up in Houston, so the regional references land with him as well. Together, the two give the record a loose, late-night mood.
