Dreezy:
Wait, so we’re going to put it as No. 1 for real?
Twista:
For now.
Rocsi Diaz:
For now. First of all, let me tell you something: This is one city I ain’t going to mess with nobody in Chicago. I want to be able to come back and get my Harold’s Chicken.
Hey there, I’m Rocsi Diaz alongside Billboard and Tres Generaciones Tequila. We’re embarking on a journey to celebrate the profound impact of music both personally and within the community. Our mission? To uncover the ultimate Get Up Anthems for cities across the nation.
Today, we’re in the iconic city of Chicago, where the winds blow strong and the blues rhythms thrive. Thank you, Tiana. Contributing to this discussion, I’m joined by Chicago’s very own legend Twista, known for his rapid-fire delivery that earned him a world record for speed. Also, Vic Mensa, known for his thought-provoking lyrics and diverse mix style. The dub princess of Chicago rap Dreezy, celebrated for her versatile flow and work life. And lastly, Billboard’s very own hip-hop writer Kyle Denis.
Just a few days ago, we began the selection process for Chicago’s Get Up Anthems. Now it was challenging, but with Billboard’s exclusive chart data, we narrowed it down to 15 tracks, now in this bowl. These selections are up for discussion as we finalize the top 10 list and crown Chicago’s No. 1 Get Up Anthem.
All right, guys. Before we jump into the conversation, let’s go ahead and raise our glasses to the city we love so much, the WIndy City. Chi Town with this Chicago Fire drink from Tres Generaciones Tequila. Cheers!
