"Bandit" is a song by American rapper and singer Don Toliver. It was released through Cactus Jack and Atlantic Records as the lead single from his fourth studio album, Hardstone Psycho , on February 1, 2024. Toliver wrote the song with producer ReidMD, with Australian musician Kevin Parker also being 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] At the APRA Music Awards of 2025, the song was nominated for Most Performed Hip Hop / Rap Work. [4]
