Champions

NLE Choppa

<p>So far in 2023, <a href="/profile/nle-choppa" class="text-word" target="_blank" >NLE Choppa</a> has been a force to be reckoned with. The Memphis native previously began the year with an appearance on <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/621032-clay-krucial-perry-iii-delivers-switches-with-nle-choppa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;Switches&#8221;</a> alongside Clay &#8220;Krucial&#8221; Perry III. Afterward, he came through with <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/622997-nle-choppa-returns-with-new-song-23" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8220;23,&#8221;</a> and more recently, &#8220;Champions.&#8221;</p>



<p>According to a press release, this new arrival is one of the 20-year-old&#8217;s personal favourite songs that he&#8217;s recorded. &#8220;I just feel like it just shows empowerment, determination and motivation,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;I feel like this song can speak volumes to us [with motivation], but really resonate with those who don’t know what life has for them.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My view from the top of the moon / I can see the whole world sittin&#8217; in my hand, amazin&#8217; view,&#8221; Choppa chiefly rhymes over victorious horns and militaristic percussion on his first verse. &#8220;We finna break the rules / And we gon&#8217; make &#8217;em too.&#8221;</p>



<p>As a press release notes, &#8220;Champions&#8221; is now appearing on ESPN&#8217;s promos and various programming.</p>



<p>The new single will also appear on Choppa&#8217;s upcoming <em>Cottonwood 2</em> project, said to be dropping sometime this spring. The predecessor, <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/217310-nle-choppa-drops-debut-ep-cottonwood-ft-blueface-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cottonwood</a></em>, first landed back in 2019 and came complete with 10 songs as well as a Blueface feature. It&#8217;s since gone on to earn a gold certification.</p>



<p>In a recent Instagram post, the southern star provided more context in his definition of a champion. &#8220;Anyone who has faced adversity and still haven’t let it define who they are on the inside,&#8221; he wrote.</p>



<p>&#8220;You’d think the homeless would be full of things that isn’t divine but instead every homeless person I meet are more grateful than people with everything they dreamed of. That tells me that a champion is NOTHING exoteric, it’s actually ESOTERIC.&#8221;</p>
