Since it's release in early January, NLE Choppa's "Shotta Flow" video has amassed more than 12 million views in nearly six weeks. The visual for his breakout record shows a precocious youth who is just as adept at dancing as he is at swinging choppas.
His flows and stylistic choices recall his friend and fellow hometown rapper BlocBoy JB. Yet Choppa is unique. His intensity, voice and dark sense of humor set him apart from the fray. His follow-up record, "Shotta Flow 2," is approaching 2 million views in under a week.
Always business-savvy, Choppa turned down a $3 million dollar deal and opted for a partnership with UnitedMasters, a company that distributes his music while allowing him to keep his masters. With an EP coming in the spring and more videos on the way, the young artist's name is everywhere, even catching the attention of legendary rap mogul Birdman, who he's been spotted sharing studio time with.

(Dmac on the fuckin' track), brrtt
Nle, Top Shotta, nigga
Got the bombs like Al-Qaeda, for real
Slide on the boy, do a drill (Tahj Money)
Brrtt, brrtt, ayy, ayy
One thing for sure, I ain't never been a runner (I ain't never been a runner)
Got a lil' feet work, then I started huntin' (then I start huntin')
Take 'em out the game, I'ma kill all opponents (kill all opponents)
Even in the rain, I'll go drill, homie (I'll go drill, homie)
Speakin' on my name, bitch, you know I don't condone it (you know I don't condone)
Just hit a stain, left no blood up on me (ayy, ayy)
Rock 'em to sleep we ain't doin' no peaces and treaties (ayy, ayy)
We want that lil' bitch underneath (ayy, ayy)
Draco in reach, if he reachin' I'm teachin' (brrt, brrt)
I'm shootin', he leakin' until he deceased (brrt, brrt)
Playin' for keeps, I'm runnin' with thieves (I'm runnin' with thieves)
Still to a drill while I'm bumpin' Keef
Tell 'em come see but he know what it be (know what it be)
Whole lotta Crips, hunnid grapes in the street (ooh, ooh)
Snort you a Perc' and you think you a killer (you think you a killer?)
I went did a drill, I was sober my nigga
Hunnid some shots when I walk 'em down (ayy)
Day before I said that I was gon' overkill 'em
Bold nigga, stand over him and then I watch his soul shrivel (yeah, yeah)
So many dirty guns up in the river, I wanna go get 'em but I got some' bigger (ayy)
Got so many guns, I ain't gotta borrow none (I ain't gotta borrow none)
Just got a Drac', but I'm waitin' on the drum
Crip, but I move like a snake, Anaconda
Play my role then I tell 'em to run it (I tell 'em to run it)
Find the location, you know that we on it (you know that we on it)
See 'em escapin', I'm chasin' and slumpin' 'em (chasin' and slumpin' 'em)
Whole lotta murders, we been there and done it
Erasin' these niggas like we was Corona (like we was Corona Virus)
Ayy, I brought my stick into this fight
I feel like somethin' wasn't right
Grip it tight (I knew it)
Move wrong, move funny, take his life, that's on sight
Tombstone (ayy), his new home
New pipe (brrt), we get 'em dead, by the end of night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ayy, one thing for sure, I ain't never been a runner (I ain't never been a runner)
Hangin' out the window, I was always gunnin' (always gunnin)
Got a lil' feet work, then I started huntin' (then I start huntin')
Take 'em out the game, I'ma kill all opponents (kill all opponents)
Even in the rain, I'll go drill, homie (I'll go drill, homie)
Speakin' on my name, bitch, you know I don't condone it (you know I don't condone)
Just hit a stain, left no blood up on me (ayy, ayy)
Rock 'em to sleep we ain't doin' no peaces and treaties (ayy, ayy)
