Tee Grizzley – Voicemail (feat. Rod Wave) [Official Video]

Born and raised in Detroit and having faced hardship from an early age, Tee Grizzley is a rapper who drew major attention with “First Day Out,” released after his prison release, and has continued to depict street reality ever since.

This new collaboration with Rod Wave is a melodic trap track released in October 2025 that, as the title suggests, centers on the motif of a “voicemail,” poignantly singing about words that never reached their destination and the pain of distance.

The resonant piano and Rod Wave’s soulful vocals stand out, creating a dramatic contrast with Tee Grizzley’s rap.

The song also serves as a single preceding the project “Street Psalms,” slated for release in November, and it seems to be generating huge excitement on the ongoing “Forever My Moment Tour.” It’s a perfect track for those who might not be into harder rap but are looking for music with a heartfelt story.
