Rod Wave has earned his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 'Don't Look Down,' which debuted at the top of the chart. The album's success follows a high-profile promotion of a major hip-hop event and the launch of a sports agency, while also drawing attention amid legal proceedings involving over 90GB of evidence in a shooting case. Despite being labeled a 'sad rapper,' Rod Wave has pushed back on the moniker, emphasizing authenticity in his music.
