NLE Choppa is planning to switch things up and drop an album in a whole different genre by the year’s end.
Taking to X over the weekend, the Memphis rapper revealed he’s heading into the R&B space for his final release of 2024.

“Dropping A R&B Project Before Year Out Mama,” he wrote with heart emojis on Saturday (November 30).
The effort will follow September’s Slut SZN, which doubled as a soundtrack for his self-produced and directed remake of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg‘s stoner comedy The Wash.

Though NLE Choppa was born a year after the film was released in 2001, he was inspired to not only star in his own personal remake but also make his directorial debut alongside music video director Ben Marc.
NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash features appearances from Lil Wayne, Sukihana, JP and more, as well as several popular influencers. According to TMZ, it was fully unscripted and everyone improvised their parts.

In other news, Complex‘s list of the twenty best rappers in their 20s elicited quite an angry response from NLE Choppa when he was left out back in September.
“Whoever made that Complex list, I just want to let you know something: your ass need to go do rock and roll or some other shit,” he said in a six-minute rant. “See, I been tucking my tail, I been trying to be more positive, I’ve been trying to be more of a light for these people. But y’all got me fucked up. Y’all keep playing with me.”
He continued, saying that he didn’t have objections to anyone who did make the list, which included Cash Cobain, Sexyy Red, Lil Uzi Vert, GloRilla, and, at the top, Playboi Carti.
“I ain’t discrediting nobody on that muthafuckin’ list, no way, shape, form,” NLE said. “But you shoulda did 21 muthafuckas instead of 20 if you wanted to leave me off that list, muthafucka.”

In his defense, NLE pointed to his age (“I”m 21, bro. Who did what I did at 21, my n-gga?”); his sales numbers (“Eighteen platinum [plaques], six or seven gold… Go look at the certifications. Let me know who beating me.”); and his touring history (“Sold out shows everywhere: America, Europe, Australia, Canada.”)
“Who been dominating this whole year in the male atmosphere?” he asked.
