Rod Wave comes through with his latest track.

Rod Wave's been buzzing for the past few months and it looks like he's plotting on a big year ahead of him. The Florida rapper has already solidified himself within his region but clearly, he's working to gain the national recognition. Today, the rapper returns with his latest single, "Popular Loner."

Rod Wave released his introspective single, "Popular Loner," as well as its accompanying music video, earlier today. The rapper's latest track follows the release of "Hard Times" which he dropped off last month and his December project, Hunger Games 3. The rapper shows off his impeccable songwriting abilities while flexing his passionate vocal delivery throughout the track.

Rod Wave recently came through to the HNHH office to lay down a verse for our weekly HNHH Freestyle Sessions which you could check out below.

Quotable Lyrics
My school, it feel like high school 'cause n***as fake
So I would skip classes and break into houses to get paid
Told my momma, one day, one day, I'mma be straight
Stack up my chips and I'mma move far away
