He has released a project in every calendar year since 2017.
Rod Wave is as consistent of an artist as they come. Having released a project every year since 2017, the Florida singer is checking off 2024’s box to continue his streak with Last Lap.
Wave announced on Friday (Sept. 27) that his Last Lap album is slated to arrive on Oct. 11 via Alamo Records. If he debuts atop the Billboard 200 once again, that will give Rod four consecutive chart-toppers.
On the heels of “Passport Junkie,” the 26-year-old unleashed the poignant “Fall Fast in Love” as well on Friday. The second single from his upcoming album finds Rod Wave exploring how falling for a romantic interest very quickly can be a dangerous proposition in life, but he’s willing to roll the dice.
“Fallin’ fast in love, it’s never been a safe thing/ Are you fallin’ fast enough/ They’ll tell you that we’re crazy/ If you’re not scared/ Yeah, I’ll be right here,” he croons.
Wave also released an accompanying visual to the sultry single, which delves into the puppy-love stages of a relationship in elementary school and grows into adulthood when the couple deals with life’s hurdles.
“Passport Junkie” served as the album’s lead single and notched Rod his 71st entry on the Billboard Hot 100 when it debuted at No. 61.
Following Last Lap‘s arrival, Rod Wave will hit the road for the Last Lap Tour with Moneybagg Yo and Toosii.
The North American trek kicks off in Phoenix on Oct. 19, and will make stops in Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Dallas, Memphis, Lexington, Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston, Baltimore, Philly, Nashville and Orlando, before wrapping up in Ft. Lauderdale on Dec. 18.
Rod Wave is riding high off the success of 2023’s Nostalgia. Wave’s fifth studio LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 137,000 total album-equivalent units sold in the first week. All 18 tracks from the LP also made the Billboard Hot 100.
