Rodarius Marcell Green, born August 27, 1998, records as Rod Wave. The St. Petersburg, Florida singer and rapper is signed to Alamo Records and is recognized as a central figure in trap soul, pairing a heavy, gospel-shaped voice with hip-hop production and writing about grief, money and family rather than bravado. "Heart on Ice" went viral on TikTok in 2019 and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, preceding his debut album Ghetto Gospel. Pray 4 Love reached number two, and SoulFly, Beautiful Mind and Nostalgia each debuted at number one and went platinum. "Street Runner" and "Tombstone" are among his highest-charting singles. He sells out arenas with almost no radio support, and his audience treats his albums as records to sit with rather than play out.
