This summer is about to get HOT! Memphis-bred rap phenom NLE Choppa reimagines the Nelly classic “Hot In Herre” on his brand new single and music video “It’s Getting Hot” out now via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records.
Powered by the instantly recognizable hook and production of Nelly’s original, NLE Choppa delivers racy and raw bars in an up-tempo flow punctuated by quotable ad-libs. He leans into the timeless turn-of-the-century vibe, while infusing it with his own undeniable attitude. In the accompanying visual, he dons a headband, Nikes, and a band-aid to turn up at a pool party.
It lands in the wake of the high-energy dance video for “STOMP EM OUT” with Duke Deuce.” Previous videos include “Cold Game” [feat. Rick Ross] and “Champions,” which boasted cameos from sports legends Mike Tyson, Angel Reese, Odell Beckham Jr., Floyd Mayweather, Jewell Lloyd, Michael Andrew, and LeBron James, among many more. They adorn his acclaimed new album Cottonwood 2 (Deluxe)—available now. Listen HERE.
Hit single “Ain’t Gonna Answer” ft. Lil Wayne is #1 at Urban Radio, with 40.1M streams and 4.8M views for the video. At the same time, Choppa has fueled one of the hottest smashes of the summer. Shining on a standout from the Fast X Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, he linked up with Kodak Black, Jimin of BTS, JVKE, & Muni Long for the banger “Angel Pt 1.” It has already reeled in a staggering 109 million streams in addition to 33 million YouTube views on the music video.
Taking over 2023, Choppa also graced the covers of both TMRW and Pause Mag. Summing up his trajectory, TMRW asserted, “a moment is something he’s undoubtedly achieved,” and Pause Mag observed, “NLE Choppa is an inspirational, hyper-aware 20-year-old that has grown to understand his true purpose and one who’s “so grateful” for all that he has accomplished.”
ABOUT NLE CHOPPA:
NLE Choppa is relentless. With more than 6.2 billion total streams, 15 RIAA-certified plaques, 24.7 million combined followers, and two 2023 singles that found a comfortable home on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, the superstar 20-year-old MC from Memphis has already accomplished a lot. And yet he’s constantly working to satiate the needs of his fans and prove wrong any remaining doubters. Choppa’s recent work—culminating in his new album, Cottonwood 2 is still an ante-up on every conceivable level. Choppa’s emergence in the rap game is the stuff of legend, but for the uninitiated: His Platinum-certified single “Shotta Flow” became one of the biggest rap songs of 2019 without a premiere, co-sign, or major label push. Desiring creative control and ownership, he partnered with Warner Records to distribute his music and future releases on his label, No Love Entertainment. Fast forward to 2023 and the technical pyrotechnics remain, but Choppa has spent more time turning inward, reflecting on his devotion to family and spirituality, and sharing more of himself than he ever has. His songs about overcoming struggles and celebrating wins have won support from Billboard, The New York Times, Forbes, GQ, and Complex. Now, he just wants the rap conversation to reflect his immense talent. “When you mention the greatest artists, or when you mention the hottest artists out right now, I have to be in that conversation,” he declares.
