Exhibiting unmatched versatility as a genuine Gen-Z renaissance man, NLE Choppa co-directs and stars in his very own short film, NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash, out now. It arrives in the wake of his hit single "Or What" featuring 41 and sensational new project, SLUT SZN. 

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.

Last week, Warner Records hosted the premiere of NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash 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 enjoyed signature movie snacks—popcorn, pretzels, candy, and cocktails—and received exclusive gift bags with cozy blankets, custom towels, The Wash gummies by Legend, and more.

In NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash, our hero—played by NLE Choppa—attempts to prevent his independent car wash from financially going underwater. He gets savvy and recruits the baddest female staff 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 a-list 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.
