Currently, big name southern rappers are releasing 2 versions of their albums, one regular and the other "Chopped and Screwed". The song was subsequently released on Mike Jones' album, "Who is Mike Jones?" in early 2005. Major airplay came to both version of the song. A video was also made for the slowed down version.
