Living up to his promise, NLE Choppa posted a TikTok video to Twitter that previewed an untitled song that found him attempting to be more positive with his music. The song presents the “Shotta Flow” rapper in a lighter mood as he lays off bars that focus on his energy with the universe.
The announcement from NLE Choppa comes after the rapper shared his debut album Top Shotta earlier this year. The album boasted features from Roddy Ricch, Mulatto, Lil Baby, and more. The Memphis native was also selected to be a part of XXL 2020 Freshman Class.
NLE Choppa is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
