Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, NLE also discusses what keeps him going.
Choppa expressed to the audience saying, "#1 Keeping God first, prayer, meditation, vegan diet, no drugs, changing who I hang around, and discipline when working towards any goals".
Later he talked about his inspiration for music after sharing songs "Ain't Gonna Answer" featuring Lil Wayne and "Shake It" featuring Russ Millions, which is featured on "Cottonwood 2".
"In all honesty, 2Pac is my personal favorite, the greatest. I value what Pac did outside of music. Pac has always been a part of my culture after my pops introduced me to his music and him as a person was more intriguing," said NLE Choppa.
Kiotti explained to everyone in attendance the importance of building relationships saying "For me relationships are always worth more than money because the right relationships will make you money.
Promoted by Kiotti, I took the stage with NLE Choppa, discussing the definition of legacy from a young person's perspective.

ZaNaria Bowens:
You talk about your thought process, loving your life and the people around you, and being grounded toward the goal. What does legacy mean to you?
NLE Choppa:
The things I bring to the table are more than music. My legacy is determined by how many lives I change, how many people I inspire, and how many people can wake up and say (that young man helped me when I didn't know my outcome).
