He began freestyling with his friends at 14, started taking it seriously at age 15 and had millions of views and major-label interest shortly after his 16th birthday. He first got his buzz from "No Chorus Pt. 3," a song and video from his crew Shotta Fam on which Choppa kicks off the song off and steals the show.
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.

(CashMoneyAP)
Oh, no
Oh, no, oh
Oh, oh, no
NLE the top Shotta
I got the bomb like Al-Qaeda

Get a bitch and make her famous, next minute she blocked me (blocked me)

30 in this Perc, I need to slow down on the roxys (on the roxys)
Got a call my niggas died, I damn near skipped a heartbeat (skipped a heartbeat)
Lookin' for your love, bet your feelings is departin' (departin')
Pull up on the wrong street, you niggas getting blicked out
Gun up in my hand while I fuck her wit my dick out (dick out)
We was really in the trenches, thuggin' in the choppa house (Choppa house)
Don't you tell me that it's smoke because you know that we gon' bang it out

I don't even know which car I'ma drive (drive)
Roll a three-five now I'm too damn high (too damn high)
Bitch I'm in my zone, don't you kill my vibe (don't you kill my vibe)
If a nigga play, you know them choppas gon' ride (ride)
That micro Draco clip, it look like a banana (like a banana)
A nigga look wrong in this bitch, we gonna blam him (grr, grr)
A lot of choppas when we ride, raise the count up (raise the count up)
I robbed a corner store, the gun over the counter (uh, uh, uh)
And I ain't gotta spin back because I know he's dead
Ain't no surviving when you shoot a nigga right in his head
Paramedics askin' questions 'bout that boy and the meds
And they know he ain't gon' make it so they pronounced him dead

Get a bitch and make her famous, next minute she blocked me (blocked me)
30 in this Perc, I need to slow down on the roxys (on the roxys)
Got a call my niggas died, I damn near skipped a heartbeat (skipped a heartbeat)
Lookin' for your love, bet your feelings is departin' (departin')
Pull up on the wrong street, you niggas getting blicked out
Gun up in my hand while I fuck her wit my dick out (dick out)
We was really in the trenches, thuggin' in the choppa house (choppa house)
Don't you tell me that it's smoke because you know that we gon' bang it out

They gon' feel me on this motherfucker
NLE the top Shotta, yeah
Pull up on the wrong street, you niggas getting blicked out
Gun up in my hand while I fuck her wit my dick out (dick out)

We was really in the trenches thuggin' in the choppa house (choppa house)
Don't you tell me that it's smoke because you know that we gon' bang it out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to NLE Choppa's "Famous Hoes" describe the life of a flashy and dangerous gangster. The song features boastful lyrics about making women famous, addiction to drugs and violence, and being unafraid to use weapons to get what he wants. The song's chorus repeats the phrase, "Get a bitch and make her famous, next minute she blocked me," which could be interpreted as Choppa's way of saying that he can make a woman famous and forget about her just as quickly. The phrase "blocked me," indicates that he's being cold and emotionless towards women, a characteristic often associated with toxic masculinity.

He then raps about drug addiction, saying that he needs to slow down on the roxies (roxycodone) after taking 30 of them, and he expresses the loss of his friends due to violence that made his heart almost skip a beat. In the next verse, he raps about his love of guns and violence, saying he's not afraid to use them and he will "blam him" if "a nigga look wrong." He then talks about robbing a corner store and killing a man, with the last lines describing his unrepentant attitude of violence and his certainty that he won't be caught.

Overall, the song portrays a dangerous, hyper-masculine lifestyle of drug addiction, violence, and misogyny.
