Songfacts®:

• "Choppa" is a song by Jamaican rapper Byron Messia featuring American rapper Lil Baby. Both artists spit realness about the struggle growing up on the streets, where violence is all too familiar. Messia's chorus where he repeats "Choppa go do-do, do-do, do-do" reinforces this association with gunfire.
• Rvssian, the Jamaican producer who cooked up Farruko's "Krippy Kush" and French Montana's "Writing On The Wall," laces the beat with a banging mix of dancehall and trap.
• Messia and Rvssian created the track in Miami, then brought Lil Baby in on the action. "Me and Rvssian had the idea for the song around the time Lil Baby and I had agreed to do a song together," Messia told The Jamaican Observer. "Upon hearing the song over and over I told Rvssian that the song sounds like it will fit with Lil Baby. So I carried it to him and it was magic after."
• This collaboration marks Lil Baby's third time working with an artist of Jamaican heritage. He previously linked up with Rvssian on "M&M" with Future in 2021, and back in 2019 he hopped on Stefflon Don's track "Phone Down," which hit #68 in the UK.
