Nle Choppa 23

Memphis hitmaker NLE Choppa is back with his new single “23,” a measured banger that looks to the future. Moreover, previous singles like “Do It Again” with 2Rare also built up hype for the rapper’s sophomore album coming this spring, reportedly titled Cottonwood 2. On this new track, the 20-year-old flows easily over a dramatic and hard-hitting beat about his goals for the new year.

Furthermore, the “Ice Spice” MC told listeners that they can expect new things from him with this track. “Sent a hit off of Discord, it’s 2023,” he raps on the chorus, “New year, new me, it’s 2023.” After a slew of other successful singles and charity efforts, his 2022 was already prolific. For example, he’s readying up for his next project through the NLE Reading Challenge, which he’s promoting to empower impoverished youth. Also, he announced pop-up appearances on his This Can’t Be Vegan Food truck to promote healthier eating habits. He’ll document and share his travels on his YouTube channel.

Back to this new track, though, you wouldn’t guess Choppa’s good-hearted efforts. Moreover, the beat here is quite murderous, with dramatic string sections and atmospheric ad-libs backed by sharp and impactful drums. Given his fast and varied flows on the track, it makes for a very dynamic listen. “The old shit ain’t goin’ forward, this a newer me,” he raps. “Probably knew me last year, but you don’t know me.”

Moreover, the “Shotta Flow” artist left quite a few things behind in 2022. His public break-up with his then-girlfriend Marissa Da’Nae caused a stir online for their back-and-forth. However, it seems things cooled off since then, and the conversation is back to his next artistic moves.

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Tay Keith, fuck these niggas up)
Tay Keith you did this shit again
You know what I’m sayin’?
Ayy, man, this new year, don’t come to me with that old shit
Leave that in 2022
Ayy, ayy

[Chorus]
I just want my nut, after that, bitch, get up off of me (Bitch, bye)
Presidential chop’, pussy nigga, ain’t no offin’ me (I ain’t gon’ die)
You a pussy with some discharge, we call ’em cottage cheese (Hahaha)
Sent a hit off of Discord, it’s 2023 (2023)
New year, new me, it’s 2023 (’23)
Glock 23 (Brr), I dump the twenty piece (Brr-brr)
The old shit ain’t goin’ forward, this a newer me (This a newer me)
Probably knew me last year, but you don’t know me (Ayy, you don’t know me)

[Verse 1]
One light, two-litre bullshit, no deal
Onsight, for real
Crack shit, life seals
Beat a nigga, MikeWill
I say how I, I feel
Give a fuck how you feel
Shooters still in the gym
Steppers still in the field
All he need is a pill
And he’ll still kill without one (Brrt, brrt)
Ain’t got a gun? Better buy one (Buy one)
Can’t afford it? Better take some (Better take one)
All lives matter, I take one (I take some)
Call me, “Booty,” I shake some (I make clap)
No homo, none taken (None taken)
Fuck all the opps, no latex (No rubber)
Make the K bust, that’s great sex (No brothers)
Faceshot, give him a taste test (Brr)
Yeah, Motorollas servin’ feinds, yeah
Said you stolen, sayin’ feinds, yeah
I’m bipolar, I’ll tweak, yeah
Headshot make him sneeze there
He got played to the left, that’s a right way
Cottonwood baby, all night way
Ride around the corner for shafier
Caught buddy lurkin’ in broad day

[Chorus]
I just want my nut, after that, bitch, get up off of me (Bitch, bye)
Presidential chop’, pussy nigga, ain’t no offin’ me (I ain’t gon’ die)
You a pussy with some discharge, we call ’em cottage cheese (Hahaha)
Sent a hit off of Discord, it’s 2023 (2023)
New year, new me, it’s 2023 (’23)
Glock 23 (Brr), I dump the twenty piece (Brr-brr)
The old shit ain’t goin’ forward, this a newer me (This a newer me)
Probably knew me last year, but you don’t know me (Ayy, you don’t know me)

[Verse 2]
Two-four in the clip, eight got hit, Kobe (Bryant)
Couple killers in a sip
Free Lou and free Toby (Slime)
Goon say he wanna put an another nigga down, I say, “Focus”
Draco, I call a micro Draco ’cause he know how to work it (My brother)
Bad ass bitch, nothin’ basic
Slide right in, I’m skatin’ (Ski)
Me and her shop in FIfths, we don’t know nothin’ ’bout Macy’s (Nah, shit)
The way she take this dick, that lil’ ho got bravy (Nah, for real)
Blood bitch tryna make a flip Crip, she be like that, she brazy (Slime)
Birds of a feather gotta flock together, box him up and tell him, “Get one off” (Skrrt)
Through any weather, we gon’ get umbrellas
Nothin’ stop this cheddar, nigga, fuck you thought?
Bacon cheddar cheese, mozzerella, please
Gettin’ head when I wake in the loft (A loft)
Came from the streets, now I scream, “World peace”
I’m rich as Hell, ma’, I play gold

[Interlude]
Where you at twin?
I know you ain’t layed up with no ho

[Chorus]
I just want my nut, after that, bitch, get up off of me (Bitch, bye)
Presidential chop’, pussy nigga, ain’t no offin’ me (I ain’t gon’ die)
You a pussy with some discharge, we call ’em cottage cheese (Hahaha)
Sent a hit off of Discord, it’s 2023 (2023)
New year, new me, it’s 2023 (’23)
Glock 23 (Brr), I dump the twenty piece (Brr-brr)
The old shit ain’t goin’ forward, this a newer me (This a newer me)
Probably knew me last year, but you don’t know me (Ayy, you don’t know me)

[Outro]
Ayy, man, lot of shit cahnged
But, it’s only one thing I’m keepin’ the same
Man, we still tote 7.62s over .223s even though we in 2023
Yeah, I might go cop a AR though (Grrt)
I take one
Call me, “Booty,” I shake some
Call me, “Booty,” I shake some
Call me, “Booty,” I—
Call me, “Booty,” ayy—
Call me, “Booty,” I shake some
No homo’, a taker
Fuck all the opps, no latex, nigga
It’s 2023
