biography
Bryson Potts grew up in a troubled area of Memphis . He was interested in basketball in his youth before turning to music as a teenager. At 14 he started freestyle rapping with friends and a year later he made his first studio recordings with songs that were influenced by southern rap from role models like Meek Mill and Lil Wayne . He published the songs and in 2018 the mixtape No Love - The Takeover online. Originally it was called YNR Choppa and then renamed itself to NLE Choppa , where NLE stands for No Love Entertainment .
The song Shotta Flow , which he released including a video in January 2019, became a great online success with 8-digit views. But he turned down lucrative label offers in order to keep his music rights. The single release brought Shotta Flow into the top 40 of the US singles chart and was awarded platinum . Many other releases followed, including a remix and several sequels of Shotta Flow and, in September, the song Camelot , with which he made it into the top 40 for the second time. With the EP Cottonwood he made it into the album charts at the end of the year . More chart singles followed in 2020, with Walk 'EM Down with Roddy Ricch not only getting him into the US top 40, but also for the first time in the British charts . His songs achieved a high number of hits and within a year he received 4 platinum and 3 gold awards.
His debut album Top Shotta was released in August 2020.
