NLE Choppa sits down with Nick Giuliano from Hot 106 for a one on one interview that you can watch below.
During their conversation, NLE talks about first hearing the Ben Billions-produced beat for “Ain’t Gonna Answer” with the “Back That Azz Up” sample.
The Memphis rapper then speaks on channeling his “inner Weezy” to record his verse, growing up watching Lil Wayne, being inspired by him, how Wayne is a big brother and mentor to him, and how the “Ain’t Gonna Answer” music video pays homage!
NLE Choppa recently appeared on Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club” radio show to chop it up with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God about his new album, Cottonwood 2.
At the 16:30 mark of their conversation, Choppa revealed how the “Ain’t Gonna Answer” collaboration came to be by producer Ben Billions pulling up the beat with a “Back That Azz Up” sample. He then recorded one verse and left the second verse open for Lil Wayne. Two months later, Wayne sent the verse back.
Also in the interview, NLE talked about first meeting Tunechi in person on set of the “Ain’t Gonna Answer” video shoot, being in shock meeting him, growing up watching and admiring Tune, writing him a letter of appreciation and giving him flowers to say thank you for being an inspiration on his life, what his reaction off camera was like, why he thinks Weezy is the greatest of all time, and how Mr. Carter is a mentor to him now.
The Memphis rapper even played a game of VERZUZ with Envy between Lil Wayne and 50 Cent. The choices they put together are: “21 Questions” vs. “Mrs. Officer“, “What Up Gangsta” vs. “Steady Mobbin’“, and “I Get Money” vs. “Lollipop“. You can check it all out below!
NLE Choppa stopped by Hot 97 last month to chat with Nessa on her “Nessa On Air” radio show, which you can watch below.
In their conversation at the 5:00 mark, NLE talked about recording the first verse of “Ain’t Gonna Answer” and leaving the second verse open for Lil Wayne. He then took a “leap of faith” and received a call from Warner Records to tell him the good news that Wayne has sent a verse back.
The Memphis rapper also discussed the flowers and personal note he handed to Weezy on set of the “Ain’t Gonna Answer” video shoot. He went on to say that Tunechi is the “realest person” he has ever met in the music industry by far and revealed Tune text him after the shoot to say a “thank you” again!
Here is the official music video for NLE Choppa‘s brand new single “Ain’t Gonna Answer” featuring Lil Wayne.
The visual, which was directed by Zaeim, was filmed last month and it includes Weezy rocking a pair of the Big Red Boots from MSCHF. “Ain’t Gonna Answer” will appear on NLE‘s forthcoming album, Cottonwood 2, due to be released on April 14th.
