    Released: February 2, 2024
  2. "Save Me"
    Released: March 22, 2024

Young New Wave is the third studio album by American rapper YNW Melly. It was released on April 19, 2024, by YNW4L, LLC as his first independent release. [1] The album features guest appearances from YNW cohorts including YNW BSlime, YNW SmokeDaLoc, and YNW Bortlen, as well as Hotboii and Toosii. YNW Melly appears on six of the eleven songs.

The album was preceded by two singles: "772 Love, Pt. 3 (Your Love)" (with YNW Bslime and YNW4L) and "Save Me" (with YNW BSlime, Jit4Stan, and YNW4L). Both of which were accompanied by music videos, along with the songs "Top Off" (with YNW SmokeDaLoc and YNW Bslime), Friendly (with Jit4Stan), and "3 Pointer" (with Jit4Stan and Lil Poppa).

Unlike its processors, Young New Wave failed to chart in any known territory and saw generally negative critical response. YNW Melly was credited for having strong melodies; however, the rapper did not have direct involvement in the project and seldom appeared, resulting in negative reviews. [2]
