Tetris Kelly:
Hey, it’s Tetris Kelly with Billboard and Tres Generaciones  Tequila asking locals in the Windy City what song best represents it. We’re trying to find the biggest get up anthem in Chicago. Hanging out in the streets of Chicago, now, which neighborhood are you in? 

Guest 1:
I live in Hyde Park. 

Tetris Kelly:
Tell me about the history of Chicago’s music. What is the anthem that gets this city going?

Guest 1:
For me personally, it’s “Faneto” by by Chief Keef. It’s the beat, it’s the lyrics. It’s very opposite of me. But for some reason, I just really **** with it.

Tetris Kelly:
What is the get up anthem for Chicago? 

Guest 2:
“Kill S–t” by Herb. Anytime I hear it, everyone just turns their lasers to the front and they know the first minute and a half, crazy.

Tetris Kelly:
Oh you say, you know the first minute and a half, let me put you on the spot. 

Guest 2:
You gonna put me on the spot? 

Tetris Kelly:
Let’s do it! 

Guest 2:
[Singing]

Tetris Kelly:
See, he got it! That’s Chicago, baby. Tell me what is the get up anthem in this city? 

Guest 3:
I am gonna say Kanye “Homecoming.” 

Tetris Kelly:
Oof, “Homecoming.”

Guest 4:
I’m from the South Side. 

Tetris Kelly:
What’s the best part about the South Side? 

Guest 4:
Everything. 

Tetris Kelly:
What song do you feel like represents Chicago in the best way? 

Guest 4:
“Wife Er” by Spenzo represents Chicago.
