The track illuminates his uncanny ability to deliver visceral subject matter via vibrant melodies. Smooth flows glide over the verses as the chorus basks in the glow of flashing lights, “Got police trying to pull me over, not scared to come outside, even though they’ll follow me.” He paints a vivid picture of street life as he sighs, “It ain’t no mercy.” Directed by Wolfe Productions, the accompanying visual brings viewers into the heart of his Memphis neighborhood, seamlessly moving in lockstep with the ebb and flow of the song. Choppa simultaneously celebrates and mourns the life of his friend Deonte’ “Tae Grape” Fletcher. At the funeral, he laughs, cries, dances, and praises God through all of it.
Maintaining a prolific pace, NLE Choppa just shared his first fully vertical music video for the fan favorite “SMOKIN ON THEM” earlier this month, which followed “PISTOL PACCIN,” featuring breakout Texas rapper BigXThaPlug, the explosive “Shotta Flow 7,” and Cottonwood 2: Deluxe 2.0, which expanded his 2023 opus Cottonwood 2 with nine new tracks.
