The saga continues! Memphis-bred rap phenom NLE Choppa extends his celebrated multi-platinum “Shotta Flow” series with the much-anticipated new installment “Shotta Flow 7,” out now via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records.
An ominous piano loop and heavy bass set the stage for NLE Choppa to unleash a barrage of lyrical heat. Early on, he makes sure to remind, “I’m a god in Memphis. Who bigger than me? Shit that they did, I did at 16.” His rapid-fire cadence echoes with raw emotion as he christens himself “One of the realest,” and lets his bars back him up.
The accompanying visual projects this energy on-screen as he addresses the camera with intention and intensity. Shots of luxury cars and show-stopping dance moves mirror the energy of Choppa and the song.
The ”Shotta Flow” series has impressively generated over 672.4M global streams and nearly 1B views. It kicked off in 2019 with “Shotta Flow,” which went triple-platinum and spawned a double-platinum Remix featuring BLUEFACE. “Shotta Flow 2” and “Shotta Flow 3” also both reached platinum status. Most recently, “Shotta Flow 6” served as the opener to his acclaimed 2022 album, Me vs. Me, and it has posted up 111M global streams and counting, in addition to over 30M YouTube views on the music video.
Earlier this fall, NLE Choppa dropped Cottonwood 2: Deluxe 2.0. He added nine brand new tracks to his 2023 opus Cottonwood 2, offering the definitive vision of this body of work.
Deluxe 2.0 spawned a heart-felt “Message from Weezy” [feat. Lil Wayne] and the trending street anthem “Pistol Paccin,” featuring burgeoning Dallas rapper BigXThaPlug. The single has more than 10.4M streams. The project ends on a powerful, provocative, and poetic note with “Auntie Living Room.” Check out the full tracklisting below.
He preceded Cottonwood 2: Deluxe 2.0 with his very first short film, Nightmare On Cottonwood. NLE Choppa personally co-directed Nightmare On Cottonwood alongside Ben Marc. Additionally, he attracted an all-star supporting cast to bring everything to life, including Kai Cenat, DDG, Sukihana, and Funny Marco, among others. Nightmare On Cottonwood showcases his influence as a true hometown hero and sees him evolve again—it’s no wonder GQ christened him “one of the biggest names in rap.”
