Released on Friday at exactly 11:11 a.m., the video sees Choppa paying tribute to the late 2Pac by reenacting scenes from his iconic music videos. The title of the song itself, of course, is a nod to 2Pac's own 1996 All Eyez on Me cut "Picture Me Rollin."

Continuing the tribute, Choppa also recently linked up with designer Karl Kani to reimagine some classic 2Pac portraits. Peep those below:

On the evening ahead of the video’s release, Choppa let fans know the "Picture Me Grapin" visual would be the last thing he releases for an undetermined period of time. According to Choppa, this is is his response to the Warner label allegedly "trying to disable my freedom of speech on the platform I worked best."

Not dropping anything else after my video tomorrow. Warner records are trying to disable my freedom of speech on the platform I worked best. Until this change this will be the final video I put out on my behalf.... love y’all always 💜

Not signed to a label I have a partnership with APG and Warner for my label No Love Entertainment. Since they aren’t moving like partners I won’t be doing anything else I have creative control to do this so I will be using my creativity when I know everyone’s on board. Thank u 💜
