![]() There is also a track, called “Rags2Riches2”, from Rod’s aforementioned album whereas he teams up with Lil Baby. That collaboration produced his highest-charting track to date, as the song broke the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. In fact 2020, was a pivotal year in the artist’s career, and we may even say life in general. For instance, he was featured on Rich the Kid and YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s joint album “Nobody Safe”, more specifically on the 13 th track of the project, which is entitled “Sorry Momma”. His second album, “Pray 4 Love” (2020), was also a hit, topping Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart and reaching as high as number 2 on the Billboard 200. Petersburg, Florida.

His most successful song to date was actually his first single, “ Heart on Ice” (2019), which also has a remix featuring Chi-town rapper Lil Durk. But still he’s dedicated to keeping the relationship going, all things considered, as best he can. Instead he fully understands where she’s coming from. And also judging by the intro it can be said that he has already determined that maintaining this romance is detrimental to his material pursuits.

In fact despite being from Florida, he’s out perusing real estate in Michigan which he is considering purchasing. And all of the above is not to imply that he actually enjoys this lifestyle. But he’s so reluctant to find himself back in the poorhouse that “chasing cake”, i.e. his firearm, by his side and likewise “watch (his) back” regularly. So between making moves and protecting himself, there really isn’t time for much else. To quote Alex Zidel of HotNewHipHop: "Wave managed to bring out more emotion than most people would have accomplished bringing a written verse to the studio.".Moreover, of course there are going to be haters on the block. So Rod has to “keep (his) strap”, i.e. It expresses a lot of emotion from the lyrics to Rod's emotional vocals.The great lyrics that have Rod Wave rap-singing about his rising career and perseverance.The soft piano melody and drum instrumental.Ran it up, ran it up, ran it up, ran it up ![]() Ran it up, yeah (just sing that shit, sing it, uh, yeah) They don't know nothin' 'bout where we was, uh (what else?)
