Rod Wave’s next album is on the way. The Florida rapper/singer announced Tuesday (June 16) that his Don’t Look Down project is set to arrive before summer ends on Aug. 28.
Rod released a bittersweet trailer to coincide with the announcement, which takes place at a funeral and finds the “Heart on Ice” artist plotting with his crew.
“No more sneaky business, no more side deals. Keep building our own machine. Keep going and don’t look down,” Rod says in the clip before being asked about his next move. “Album.”
The trailer closes with a preview of a soulful track, which appears to be on Don’t Look Down. A press release confirms that a single is “coming soon.” “I am the chosen one/ The only one they banking on/ Real s–t that raw s–t they waiting on,” he croons.
Billboard caught up with Rod Wave at a homecoming show in St. Petersburg, Florida, last year, where the Grammy-nominated artist spoke about the growth he felt going into this LP.
“Growth,” he said when describing the project. “I feel like every album, as I grow older, is different. I paint a different picture, because I’m a different version of myself. Every album’s a different chapter. I feel like it’s all real-life stuff.”
The 27-year-old continued: “We all can agree that life goes up and down. So every year, what I basically do is I just talk about where life has taken me up to that point, and people connect with it. We’re all growing up together.”
Rod Wave’s most recent album, Last Lap, arrived in 2024 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Watch the Don’t Look Down trailer below.
