NLE Choppa’s ‘Pistol Paccin’ is all about the Christmas season
Clocking in at nearly three minutes, NLE teams with hip-hop artist BigXThaPlug to deliver a visual gem to the masses. But at the same time, it’s all about celebrating the good deeds Choppa’s doing this time of year.
With more than 31 million TikTok views, 4.7 million “likes,” and overwhelming demand from fans online, Memphis-bred rap star NLE Choppa is celebrating this holiday unwrapping his much-anticipated new music video “Pistol Paccin” featuring breakout Texas rapper BigXThaPlug via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records.
Tis’ the season of giving so NLE Choppa personally donated toys, clothes, and books to more than 300 hundred kids from his Parkway Village hometown in Memphis. “I’m just living my purpose, doing what God would want me to do. He blessed me to be able to bless others,” said the multi-platinum rapper. Memphis Mayor-elect Paul Young attended the event to give his support to Choppa saying, “these are the type of feel-good moments our city needs.” Watch the full FOX 13 news clip HERE.
From the jump, NLE Choppa’s flow leaves this soundscape in flames as the chantable chorus takes hold, “Pistol paccin, never lackin’, run up.” BigXThaPlug counters with a catchy and quotable verse punctuated by his laidback delivery and signature tone. In the accompanying visual, they dominate at an arena size basketball court, rapping right to the camera with clear intent. Filled with animated graphics and “meme-able” moments, the clips place them center court as the new generation’s champions!
