NLE Choppa is kicking off the year with a daring collaboration, linking up with Imagine Dragons for the genre-blending track “Dare U.” This unexpected pairing merges Choppa’s fiery rap style with the explosive alternative rock energy that Imagine Dragons are known for, creating a high-energy anthem that’s primed for radio play.
The song opens with Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds delivering an emotionally charged hook, “Dare you, dare you / Say it to my face, I dare you,” which sets a confrontational and empowering tone. While Reynolds’ vocals might feel over-the-top for some, they add to the song’s dramatic flair. Choppa’s verses, meanwhile, showcase his adaptability as he flows seamlessly over the busy, layered production. His lyrics maintain a focused theme of resilience and defiance, aligning well with the track’s high-octane energy.
For Choppa, this track represents another bold move in his evolving sound, offering a more polished, crossover appeal. Fans of his rawer material might see this as a departure, but it’s a calculated risk that could open new doors. As for Imagine Dragons, collaborations with rappers aren’t new territory for them, with past hits like “Enemy” featuring JID and “Sucker For Pain,” which brought together Logic, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, and Lil Wayne.
“Dare U” is a statement piece, blending the best of two worlds and pushing boundaries for both artists. It’s a powerful reminder that stepping outside of your comfort zone can lead to something truly unique. Check it out below and let us know if this unlikely duo hit the mark!
