July 7, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) – A new name. A higher vibration. A deeper message. Multi-platinum rap phenomenon NLE The Great (also known as NLE Choppa) enters a bold new era with the release of “Messiah (Devil’s Diss),” out now via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records. Listen HERE.
Now embracing the moniker NLE The Great, the 22-year-old Memphis native taps into his spiritual awakening with this fiery yet focused track—a fearless rebuke of darkness and ego, and a powerful proclamation of faith, purpose, and divine alignment. In “Messiah,” NLE doesn’t just confront the devil—he casts him out.
Over cinematic production and thunderous drums, NLE delivers a sermon in rhyme. “I had to let go of Choppa, I’m greater than that,” he affirms, making it clear that this isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a rebirth. The track signals a radical evolution in both name and nature, as the rapper-turned-lightworker leans into elevated consciousness, intention-driven bars, and music as modern-day ministry.
“Messiah” arrives on the heels of an impressive run of purpose-filled releases, including “Hard Life,” “Stay Strong,” “Crescent Moon,” and “Can We Live?,” and more. It also follows the success of his chart-shaking collaboration with Imagine Dragons, “Dare U,” which cemented NLE’s place as one of hip-hop’s most transcendent voices.
With over 9.5 billion career streams, 24 RIAA plaques, and widespread acclaim for his genre-defying project PICASSO: SLUFFIN SZN x SLUT SZN, NLE is no longer chasing status—he’s standing in truth. His impact goes far beyond music, with ongoing philanthropic efforts like his vegan food truck, wellness advocacy, and community work rooted in literacy and youth empowerment.
