Last Lap in Bloomington, MN

Dedicated to his late uncle, emotional rapper
Rod Wave
's sixth studio album
Last Lap
is another collection of heartbroken melodies, yearning hooks, sad piano loops, and just enough pop lift to keep the entire thing from falling into utter despair.
Wave
continues his habit of releasing long projects; this one has 23 songs and a 67-minute run-time focused on songs of loss, social anxiety, and emotional pain. The best of the bunch includes the dreamy sadness of "25," the bouncy romance of "Passport Junkie," and "Fuck Fame," which took
Lil Baby
and
Lil Yachty
into the booth to add some Auto-Tuned melancholy to
Rod
's already glum sound. Additional featured guests include
Be Charlotte
Rylo Rodriguez
. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. ~ TiVo Staff
