The highly anti­cip­ated release of Mem­ph­is hip-hop sen­sa­tion NLE Chop­pa’s new album, Cot­ton­wood 2, has been mak­ing waves in the music industry. The record fea­tures the vir­al hit single “Slut Me Out,” which not only reached #1 on Tik­Tok’s music chart but also broke into the top 10 on US Spo­ti­fy, accom­pan­ied by a risqué remix with St. Louis’ Sexyy Red. With over 5.5 bil­lion glob­al streams, 13 cer­ti­fied RIAA plaques, and a whop­ping 26 mil­lion words read through his NLE Read­ing Chal­lenge, Choppa has worked tire­lessly to become a respec­ted fig­ure in his com­munity. Recently, he par­ti­cip­ated in a pan­el and per­form­ance at the Grammy Museum’s “Grammy In The Schools” Fest­iv­al, lead­ing by example and show­ing young people the import­ance of liv­ing a pur­pose-filled life.

Chop­pa’s name has become syn­onym­ous with the élite of the rap world, hav­ing topped Bill­board’s Emer­ging Artists chart for a record-break­ing 24 weeks in 2019, cracked the Bill­board 200 top 10 with 2020’s Top Shotta, and secured a spot on last year’s Bill­board 21 Under 21 list. Cot­ton­wood 2 is a cel­eb­ra­tion of growth, fol­low­ing the break­out star’s 2022 mix­tape, Me vs. Me, which served as a step­ping stone to this moment. The album fea­tures nuanced reflec­tions like “The Gender Song” along­side elec­tri­fy­ing tracks like “Jump­in” and “Shotta Flow 6,” as well as a col­lab­or­a­tion with Lil Wayne on “Ain’t Gonna Answer.”

Chop­pa’s fiery new single, “Talk Dif­fer­ent,” exam­ines how suc­cess changes people, set to boom­ing bass and echo­ing vocals. The accom­pa­ny­ing music video is equally pro­voc­at­ive, with the young rap­per depic­ted in the finest fash­ions iced out while rid­ing through the streets of Los Angeles. The album also includes new hits like “Before I” and “All I Know,” as well as pre­vi­ously released favor­ites “Mo Up Front” and “Cham­pi­ons.” With Cot­ton­wood 2, Choppa con­tin­ues to level up, deliv­er­ing one of 2023’s most ambi­tious and addict­ive albums.
