Me vs. Me is the fifth mixtape by American rapper NLE Choppa. It was released through Warner Records on January 28, 2022. The mixtape features guest appearances from Young Thug, Polo G, G Herbo, and Moneybagg Yo.
Background and promotion
The mixtape was originally supposed to be released on December 17, 2021. NLE Choppa later pushed it back by four weeks to January 14, 2022, and then again by another week, January 21, 2022. On the originally planned release date, NLE Choppa was interviewed by HotNewHipHop and revealed that Young Thug and Moneybagg Yo will both appear on the project. He commentated his opinion on it: Me vs. Me is, pretty much, a project concept I've been wanting to get out for a long time. I chose a few old songs and I chose a lot more newer songs so that people can see the growth that I've shown musically. At the same time, I'm still speaking on the same topics of what my core fans like to hear from me.{{Cite web |last=Marie |first=Erika |date=December 17, 2021 |title=NLE Choppa Talks "Me Vs.

On January 20 the mixtape release was postponed by another week. The artist said this was out of respect for the Long Live Young Dolph compilation which was released that week in honor of Young Dolph.{{cite news |last=Jefferson |first=Devon |title=NLE Choppa Pushes 'Me vs. Me' Album Back For 'Memphis' a.k.a.
