NLE Choppa Helps King Von's Nephew Perform His Favorite Song From The Late Rapper Onstage: Watch

Not only is NLE Choppa one of the most comedic rappers in the game right now, but he is also one of the nicest. The Memphis, Tennessee star has repeatedly poured out so much love and kindness into the world in many ways. For how young he is (21), he shows just as much as maturity, if not more than others twice his age. One prime example you can look to is the amount of hate he received for dropping "SLUT ME OUT 2". The homophobic claims did not get to him and instead showed incredible mental strength. Now, NLE Choppa is helping carry on the legacy of King Von.

The hitmaker had a segment at the Vegandale Festival to attend to and what better way to go about it than to pay homage to a Chicago legend. NLE has shown that he has a lot of love for the late superstar in the making in the past, so this comes as no surprise. Choppa reached out to Von's nephew, GrandBabii, and asked him to help out with his show. According to him, he told GrandBabii that he needed to show out for his uncle and he was in, although for being so young the nerves were real.

However, as you can see in the video, he manages to jump right into it after a short chat with Choppa onstage. The latter also asked what song they should spin, and assumed his answer would be "Crazy Story". However, GrandBabii requested "GTA", as that was his favorite of his uncle's. According to Choppa's post, the younsgter told him he wants to pursue music, "After that he told me standing on the stage performing made him want to be a rapper. I’m just glad to play a small part in the successful career I know he’s gonna have one day

Sam Ryder unveils second studio album Heartland

Sam Ryder has unveiled his second studio album Heartland.

Released through the independent label Artist Theory, the new project captures what the 2022 Eurovision runner-up describes as “the feeling of the last couple of years.”

The album represents a fresh chapter for Ryder, who took time to pause and reflect after the whirlwind success of his 2022 breakout hit Space Man, a Number 1 album, and billions of streams around the world.

After stepping away from Parlophone, the singer found himself without a label and struggling with a crisis of confidence.

He recorded the album in Nashville, living in a log cabin during the process. The tracks draw inspiration from the city’s rich musical heritage, classic Western and Hollywood scores, and elements of soul music.

Speaking about the record, Ryder shared: “This record is a collection of songs attempting to convey the feeling of the last couple of years. The wish is to find a connection with you no matter where you are in the world, whether it’s flying high or feeling like you’re the only ship out on the ocean. If you’re navigating the pain of forgiveness and the weight that comes with holding onto resentment, if you’ve lost confidence in yourself and you’re trying to find a way back to your spark, spirit and hope, this is for you. Take to the Heartland. I’m with you every step.”

He also spoke about the single The Feeling Never Went Away, explaining: “It’s about still having feelings for someone or something even though they perhaps don’t deserve them anymore… Even though I think I’ve conquered them, back they come. Healing and breaking the cycle is about recognising these feelings and accepting them.”

The 13-track album, a follow-up to 2022’s There’s Nothing but Space, Man!, features the previously released songs White Lies, OH OK, and Armour.

Ryder collaborated with an impressive roster of producers and songwriters on the project, including Mikky Ekko, Steve Mac, Mike Elizondo, Tom Elmhirst, Nick Lobel, and J Kash, among others.

The release comes after his acclaimed Glastonbury debut in June and ahead of his biggest headline performance yet at London’s Wembley Arena on November 6 — a particularly special venue for Ryder, as it’s where he attended his first concert as a teenager.

Remaining tickets for the Wembley show are available at aegpresents.co.uk/event/sam-ryder.
