Exhibiting unmatched versatility as a genuine Gen-Z renaissance man, NLE Choppa has released his very own short film NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash. The film, co-directed by and starring the Memphis native arrives on the heels of his hit single “Or What” featuring 41 and sensational new project, SLUT SZN. You can check the album out here via NLE Entertainment/Warner Records.
With the 45-minute short, the 21-year-old artist and co-director Ben Marc pay homage to the 2001 cult classic The Wash, co-starring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Born a year after the original film’s debut in theaters, NLE Choppa taps into the same clever hood humor from a decidedly modern perspective. Rather than rely on a “script,” the filmmakers embraced the natural talent and chemistry of the cast.
In NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash, Choppa attempts to prevent his independent car wash from financially going underwater. He gets savvy and recruits the baddest staff of women he can find, boasting a menu of services drenched in NSFW double entendre such as “Sloppy Toppy,” “Rim Job,” and “Badussy Special.” Hilarious dialogue and unforgettable moments propel the plot towards an unexpected resolution with a sweet message to never give up, keep the faith, and let life take its course. An amazing cohort of friends and collaborators bring this story to life, including Lil Wayne, Lou Ratchet, Lil One, Lil Pistol, JP, Ray Vaughn, Relly B, Sukihana, TraRags, and Yaisel LM.
Last week, Warner Records hosted the premiere of the film at The Rooftop Cinema in downtown Los Angeles. The star-studded event brought out a vibrant crowd, including Amber Rose, Bia, Dreezy, Sukihana, Kayla Nicole, Skilla Baby, Ray Vaughn, 310Babii, Lay Bankz, and more. Guests were treated to popcorn, pretzels, candy, and cocktails. In addition, they received exclusive gift bags with cozy blankets, custom towels, The Wash gummies by Legend, and more.
