Rod Wave

House
HouseTrap

Rod Wave is a House and Trap act. Their sound grew out of E-40, Chingy, Boosie Badazz, Chief Keef and Kanye West. Those roots explain a lot about how Rod Wave arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Toosii, YFN Lucci, Lil Durk, Hunxho and Yung Bleu, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into 21 Savage, Ari Lennox, Big Scarr, Moneybagg Yo and Toosii, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Rod Wave, reaching back through E-40 and forward to 21 Savage.
