Rod Wave is back with his new album before he embarks on his next tour.
On Friday, October 11, the Florida native released his sixth studio album Last Lap via Alamo Records. It begins with his piano-laced banger "Turtle Race," in which he promises to change his ways after witnessing so much pain and loss within his inner circle. The uplifting album continues with 23 songs in total with stand-out collaborations including "F**k Fame" featuring Lil Baby & Lil Yachty and the outro "Jersey Numbers" featuring Rylo Rodriguez.
"Thank you for everything," Rod wrote in an Instagram hours before the album dropped.
"Thank you for allowing me to live out my dream was truly a blessing," he continued. "thank you for helping me take care my kids and family, thank you for the hard times as well the constructive criticism the ups the down thank you for the good the bad."
Rod Wave's new album arrived a week before he hit the road for his "Last Lap Tour." The "Federal Nightmares" rapper recruited Moneybagg Yo, Toosii, Lil Poppa, Dess Dior and Eelmatic to join him for a 35-city run beginning on October 19 in Phoenix, Az. Wave will hit up various cities throughout the United States until he wraps up in Fort Lauderdale on December 18.
