In January 2021, there were notable releases from Rappers; NLE Choppa and CJ–Both who are very popular on this Blog…
Rapper CJ is still on top of the charts with his hit “Whoopy,” (CJ… the new Rapper shooting up the charts with “Whoopty.”). On the Week of January 30, 2021–Hot 100 chart, the song was at its peak (so far), at #19 . This is CJ’s first Top 20 song–and with its momentum–it can very well make it to the Top 10. The song is currently Top 5 of Spotify Steaming and Top 20 of Apple Music Streaming.
On January 23, 2021, CJ released a follow-up single “Bop,” along with a music video. The song and video followed Whoopty’s format for the most part. Why change something that worked for him the first time? The video now has over 5 Million views on Youtube. Too bad he is not showing off his tattoos in this video. CLICK HERE TO PLAY BOP ON SPOTIFY.
Someone who is showing-off his tattoos in his latest video is NLE Choppa. On January 22, 2021, NLE released a video for “Picture Me Grapin.” This is the latest promotional single from his 2020 mixtape From Dark to Light. See the Video Below:
Anyone that knows rap, will know that this song samples Tupac Shakur‘s “Picture Me Rollin'” (featuring Danny Boy, Big Syke and CPO), from his 1996 album All Eyez on Me. In “Picture Me Grapin,” NLE Choppa rocks numerous 2Pac looks and Music Video scenes throughout.
A lot of props to NLE Choppa for this.
