NLE Choppa returns with “SMOKIN ON THEM,” a revamped rendition infused with his rapid-fire delivery. Utilizing the iconic beat from Gotye’s 2012 hit “Somebody That I Used To Know,” Choppa weaves his narrative against the backdrop of the familiar melody. The Memphis native’s quirky music video complements the track, featuring eccentric visuals and bling.
In the midst of infectious percussion and the original’s otherworldly guitar lick, Choppa’s lyrics take center stage. “Come on, now we in them tennis suburbs,” he asserts, donned in all black to match his Glock-paired purse. Reflecting on his past at age 13, he reminisces, “runnin’ around like a Rugrat — I’m tryna numb all the pain, where the drugs at?” The song delves into Choppa’s soaring success and the toll it has exacted.
