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.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (they not ready bro-)
Tay, they ready?
Yeah yeah
Tay sayin' no
What? Yeah huh huh
Bullets hit a nigga up, like I'm playin' Pac-Man
Nigga call me doo-doo, yeah I'm the shit man
Nigga talking shit, so I fired on his bitch-ass
Glock freeze him up yeah, call that freeze tag
Choppa leave him stuck yeah, that's a glitch man
If a nigga play, I'ma hit him broad day with the K
Make a nigga go ah yeah
Do the race, call it Tay-K, yeah
Fuckin' on another nigga bae, yeah
Make a nigga shake, earthquake, yeah
Nigga's aren't real, you fake, yeah
I be totin' them glizzy
We love totin' guns
I do it for real
You do it for fun
When an opp see me
You know they gon' run
I hang out the window
Shoot shit like Lebron
You know that I hit 'em
I had to get 'em
They thought I was bowlin'
I had to split 'em
7.62 cut 'em down the middle
Cookin' him up like a fuckin' McGriddle
Sub me in the game, and you know that I'ma score, bitch
Pull up with the gang
Twist a finger make it bang
To be honest, I'm an animal, I can't be tamed
Bullets fallin' out the sky, let that bitch rain
2-3 shots, take him out with a bang
Back in the summer, I didn't have a name
Now she suck on my dick while my balls be hangin'
Damn lil Choppa, she say that you slanging
Hit it from the back, have her changing languages
Huh? Huh?
What the fuck?
Bitch stop calling my phone
I hit her one time then I leave her alone
I know I'm not right, 'cause I'm doin' her wrong
Just like a dog, I just want a bone
We makin' 'em serve, we serve in a cone
I'm a real nigga, you cannot clone
I'm cold with this shit like my first name was Stone
I'm still a menace, wait
Huh?
What the fuck?
I am a devil
Whole 'nother level
I'm clutchin' my metal
Cook him like a vegetable
She eatin' my dick like that bitch is an edible
I'm clutchin' my metal
Cook him like a vegetable
She eatin' my dick like that bitch is an edible
I'm clutchin' my metal
Cook him like a vegetable
She eatin' my dick like that bitch is an edible
Back in 8th grade, I was lame, I was boostin'
Now I'm up in high school getting head from my tutor
Used to be a fighter, graduated to a shooter
Shoot him in the head, I'm tryna knock out his noodles
I'm a big dog, little nigga you a poodle
I sell a bitch a dream like my name Young Ruler
Or like I'm Martin Luther
Bullets bless him, that's a hallelujah
Brrt brrt, bow bow bow bow
They shootin', splatt, splatt
Choppa
In NLE Choppa's song "BIRDBOY," the rapper expresses his pride in carrying and using firearms, celebrating his perceived masculinity and toughness. He boasts about his ability to take down opponents with quick, deadly force, using pop culture references to Pac-Man and the racecar driver Tay-K to compare himself to violent figures. Choppa implies that he is a vigilante, using his guns to protect himself and those around him, but he also revels in the destruction he can cause with them, referring to his opponents as "vegetables" and reveling in the fear they show when they encounter him.
While some might see Choppa's lyrics as a disturbing celebration of violence and toxic masculinity, they also reflect the harsh realities of life in his community, where the use of guns is often rampant and necessary for survival. Choppa is expressing himself through the language and experiences he knows best, and his lyrics offer a window into the complex social and cultural forces that shape his worldview.

Sub me in the game, and you know that I'ma score, bitch
Include me in a violent situation, and I'll definitely win
Pull up with the gang

Twist a finger make it bang

2-3 shots, take him out with a bang

Back in the summer, I didn't have a name
I was unknown and insignificant in the past
Now she suck on my dick while my balls be hangin'
Now I have a lot of success and girls are attracted to me
Damn lil Choppa, she say that you slanging
A girl I'm with thinks I have a lot of money and drugs
Hit it from the back, have her changing languages
I'm having sex with a girl in a way that makes her moan in different languages
Bitch stop calling my phone
I don't want to talk to this girl anymore
I hit her one time then I leave her alone
I use girls for sex and then don't want anything to do with them
I know I'm not right, 'cause I'm doin' her wrong
I realize that treating women this way is morally wrong
Just like a dog, I just want a bone
I'm only interested in sex, like how dogs are driven by instincts
We makin' 'em serve, we serve in a cone
We're selling drugs and delivering them in a specific way
I'm a real nigga, you cannot clone
I'm unique and cannot be duplicated
I'm cold with this shit like my first name was Stone
I'm very skilled at what I do
I'm still a menace, wait
I'm still dangerous, just wait and see
I am a devil
I'm evil and violent
Whole 'nother level
I'm at a higher level of violence and danger than most people
I'm clutchin' my metal
I'm holding my gun tightly
Cook him like a vegetable
I'll kill someone thoroughly and violently
She eatin' my dick like that bitch is an edible
A girl is performing oral sex on me and enjoying it immensely
Back in 8th grade, I was lame, I was boostin'
I used to be uncool and involved in petty crimes
Now I'm up in high school getting head from my tutor
Now I'm more successful and having sex with someone in a higher position than me
Used to be a fighter, graduated to a shooter
I used to fight people, but now I shoot them
Shoot him in the head, I'm tryna knock out his noodles
I want to hit someone in the head and damage their brain
I'm a big dog, little nigga you a poodle
I'm more important and powerful than other people
I sell a bitch a dream like my name Young Ruler
I'm able to convince girls to have sex with me and make them believe in me
Or like I'm Martin Luther
I'm comparable to The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., who fought for justice
Bullets bless him, that's a hallelujah
When I kill someone, it's a blessing that they're out of the way
Brrt brrt, bow bow bow
The sound of me firing my gun rapidly
They shootin', splatt, splatt
The sound of people getting shot and falling down
