In conversation with Rocsi Diaz, Miami natives Alex Sensation and Trina sat with Billboard’s Heran Mamo and Jessica Roiz to curate their top 10 Get Up Anthems for Miami. The list includes songs that inspired and energized their city, by Miami artists, presented by Tres Generaciones Tequila.
Alex Sensation:It was only, like, a couple of years ago that I really found out that Flo Rida is Florida. I didn’t know that.
Rocsi Diaz:The door is over there. I’m gonna need you to exit stage left.
Alex Sensation:I never put it together.
Rocsi Diaz:Hey, guys. 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 communities.

Contributing to this discussion, I’m joined by Miami’s very own Diamond Princess, Trina, radio phenomenon Alex Sensation and Billboard’s Heran Mamo and Jessica Roiz.
Just a few days ago, we began the selection process for Miami’s Get Up Anthems. Now, it was challenging, but with Billboard’s exclusive chart data, we narrowed it down to just a few tracks that are now in this bowl. These selections are up for discussion as we finalize the top 10 list and crown Miami’s No. 1 Get Up Anthem.
Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’.” First of all, let’s just talk about how Rick Ross came on the scene. Talk about blowing up, and I think it was his voice, Trina, that captivated the world. I think for me, it was Biggie, but then he came on and it was like a voice that filled a void that we were missing.

In this episode of Billboard Unfiltered, Billboard staffers Kyle Denis, Trevor Anderson, Carl Lamarre and Damien Scott discuss Kendrick Lamar’s GNX chart takeover, along with their initial reactions to the surprise drop, Drake’s legal battle with UMG over “Not Like Us,” J. Cole’s Inevitable podcast series and his 10-year anniversary show at MSG for Forest Hill Drive.
Carl Lamarre:I think his run this year is probably comparable to what we see maybe from like an ‘08 Wayne, an ‘03 50, a 2018 Drake.
Kyle Denis:I don’t like this arriving during, you know, GNX week, it’s like … it’s a little bit pathetic.
Trevor Anderson:Oh I already know I love this. I just haven’t had access to it and you mean to tell me it’s right here, you know, on the app that I already use. Like, let’s go, let’s download it, let’s play it.
Carl Lamarre: Before the break, Compton superstar Kendrick Lamar did a surprise drop. Now I’m here to talk about it with you guys. GNX, his sixth studio album, 12 tracks, featuring SZA, a slew of up-and-coming L.A. rappers. The project came No. 1 on the 200, 319 album equivalent units, seven records in the top 10 of the Hot 100. He’s occupying the top five, No. 1 with “Squabble Up.” Mr. Lamar is back in full force, gentlemen. How do we feel about this album?
Damien Scott:Fire, in a word.
Carl Lamarre:Fire?
Damien Scott: Fire. Also, just straightforward rap. You know, just like … I know that PG, Dave and Kendrick love to be subversive, they love to just do what everyone is not expecting them to do, and I think this album is a great example of that. Every Kendrick album is like a grand affair. It has this big, huge meaning that has to get worked through.
