Rod wave 2022 album release date

Since sharing his debut record in 2018, Rod Wave has been consistent in putting one project out every year. Most recently, that came in the form of March 2021’s SoulFly and its subsequent deluxe that arrived in August 2021, capping off an emotionally potent AOTY candidate run.

When contextualizing this prior consistency, it felt strange that Rod had only released one song halfway through 2022, January’s “Cold December.” But as summer began to wind down, these concerns were finally quelled, with Rod Wave making his full-length return on Friday (Aug. 12) in the form of Beautiful Mind, continuing his LP streak.

Beautiful Mind‘s track list consists of 24 songs, two features from Jack Harlow and December Joy, four of its pre-released singles and an interlude performed by viral comedian Druski. The album’s preceding promotional singles, “Stone Rolling” (July 26) and the album’s intro “Alone” (Aug. 9), prepared fans for another melodic whirlwind of emotions. “Stone Rolling” was the third pre-released single after “Cold December” and November 2021’s “By Your Side.”

The song sees Rod passionately croon over a guitar-laced instrumental which has been his fool-proof, go-to formula for years now. The accompanying visuals for “Stone Rolling” follows the Floridian singer as he embarks on summer vacation trips throughout the country. Similarly, “Alone,” which Rod teased on his Instagram last week, is a melancholic tone-setter for the album, as he croons about lost love and provides another music video for the project.

The “Stone Rolling” visuals likely serve as a precursor to the life Rod Wave is ready for, as a tweet he put out in June explains that Beautiful Mind will be the last album of his that utilizes his beloved, downtrodden style.

With Beautiful Mind‘s arrival, it’s looking like this project will be the end of a dramatic, therapeutic era provided by one of hip-hop’s most emotionally vulnerable artists.

The “Alone” performer is looking to add another Number One to his résumé.

Florida’s Rod Wave may not be considered an A-list Hip Hop artist at the moment. However, the rapper has a loyal fan base that keeps putting Wave near the top of the album chart.

Rod Wave released his Beautiful Mind studio LP on August 12. The project came out on the same day as some heavy competition. Traumazine by Megan Thee Stallion dropped that Friday as well.

According to HitsDailyDouble, Rod Wave’s Beautiful Mind is greatly outpacing Megan Thee Stallion’s Traumazine when it comes to early sales projections. In fact, Beautiful Mind is on pace to debut at No. 1.

HDD reports that Beautiful Mind will bring in between 120,000 units and 140,000 units. That range should be enough to place Rod Wave atop next week’s Billboard 200 rankings.

Previously, Rod Wave scored a #1 album last year with SoulFly. The album brought in 130,000 first-week units. His debut LP, Ghetto Gospel, peaked at #10 in 2019. 2020’s Pray 4 Love reach #2.

If Beautiful Mind makes it to #1 on the Billboard 200, Rod Wave will join other Hip Hop acts to lead the rankings in 2022. Seven rappers have earned a #1 album over the last eight months.

Gunna’s DS4Ever, Lil Durk’s 7220, Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost, Pusha T’s It’s Almost Dry, Future’s I Never Liked You, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, and Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind peaked at No. 1.
