Nah I feel like Lupe posted an image of it before and explained it. All I know is it's related to slavery.

It's a manilla, which is the title of the 3rd song and used to be currency for slave trade. Recently, he turned them into necklaces, I think as a way of not being owned by your past and knowing your history to understand where you are going. This echoes his ig post yesterday about resurrection, giving new life to the negative to turn it into something positive. He also did a whole superfacts video on it, probably still on youtube.
The og cover has more immediate impact, but this one's growing on me. Like T&Y's cover, there's multiple ways to interpret it, depending on where you're looking.
A manilla, used a long time ago during the Slave trade days as a form of currency for the selling/purchase of slaves and other things.

Chopper and Gibbs’ Thuggin are are 2 of the best hip hop songs of the 2010s. Chopper is like one of the only 9 and half minute long songs I wish were longer
