NLE Choppa is back with his brand new album Cottonwood 2.

On Friday, April 14, the Memphis rapper dropped off his long-awaited follow-up to his debut album Top Shotta. The title of his new body of work stems from his first EP, which arrived back in 2019. Cottonwood 2 comes with 22 new songs including his smash hit "Do It Again" featuring 2rare and "Mo Up Front." It also features fresh collaborations with G-Herbo, Rick Ross, Fivio Foreign, Kevin Gates, Lola Brooke, Queen Naija, Lil Wayne and more. NLE Choppa recently spoke on how he got Wayne on the Cash Money-inspired banger "Ain't Gonna Answer" during his recent visit to The Breakfast Club.

“I was in Miami and Ben Billions pulled out this beat," NLE Choppa explained. "It was the ‘Ain’t Gonna Answer’ beat and it had the ‘Back That Azz Up’ sample. I rapped on it, did my verse. I did the hook and I was about to do a second verse and they was like ‘Yo leave it open for Wayne.’ I’m like huh? I’m like ‘he ain’t just somebody who can get on the phone and ask to do a verse’ so I was skeptical going in and they were like ‘Just try it and see’. So I prayed on it and stayed on faith street about two months later, God delivered.”

In addition to his story about Wayne, Choppa also spoke on the controversy surrounding his recent video shoot with Sukihana and Sexxy Redd as well as his thoughts on Meaghan Good and Ice Spice. Peep the entire conversation above and stream his new album Cottonwood 2 below.
