Rod Wave has confirmed that his next album, "Don't Look Down," will be released on August 28. The Florida-based rapper and singer made the announcement on Tuesday, June 16, ahead of the summer's end.
The album reveal was accompanied by a bittersweet trailer. The visual depicts a funeral scene and features the "Heart on Ice" artist strategizing with his crew. In the trailer, Rod Wave is heard saying, "No more sneaky business, no more side deals. Keep building our own machine. Keep going and don't look down." The clip concludes with a preview of a soulful track, which appears to be from "Don't Look Down." A press release further confirmed that a single from the album is "coming soon."
Last year, Billboard spoke with Rod Wave during a homecoming show in St. Petersburg, Florida. The 27-year-old Grammy-nominated artist discussed the personal growth reflected in his upcoming project. He described each album as a different chapter, stating, "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."
He added, "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," was released in 2024 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
