Billboard and Tres Generaciones Tequila are partnering to find out the Get Up Anthems of select cities, and the next stop is Chicago. Ahead of the curated list, in this “Man on the Street,” we tapped Chicago locals to help share some of their favorite hometown hits that have inspired and energized their city, including artists such as Ye, G Herbo and more! Be sure to check out the official Get Up Anthems for Chicago presented by Tres Generaciones Tequila.
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.

CeeLo Green and Dallas Austin give Billboard an exclusive tour of James Brown’s home in Augusta, Georgia, in partnership with Primary Wave.
CeeLo GreenI know between you and I, I’m not the biggest James Brown fan.
Dallas AustinYeah.
CeeLo GreenI bet you don’t know his highest-charting hit.
Dallas AustinI might say like “Living In America,” just because ‘Rocky’ was so big.
CeeLo GreenThat’s a good one. But nope, incorrect. “I Got You.”
What’s up, everybody? This is yours truly, CeeLo Green, and I am here transmitting live from Augusta, Georgia, with my big brother, Dallas Austin, and we are, believe it or not, in James Brown’s estate.
Dallas AustinWow.
CeeLo GreenAnd I’m here with Billboard, and we’re gonna take him on a tour. Let’s go.
Dallas AustinWow!
CeeLo GreenCheck it out.
Dallas AustinWow. This is crazy. So everything’s left as is.
CeeLo GreenYeah this is probably besides the entire property. This one piece of archive history is probably the most important and significant for me, because it’s right when you walk in the front door.
Dallas AustinWas this the tree that he put up the same Christmas as the Christmas of him passing? Right?
CeeLo GreenYeah, so James passed in 2006 if I’m not mistaken, and you know, the people that worked underneath him, they just kind of honored his legacy by just leaving everything untouched. So this was really moving for me.
Dallas AustinThis gave me chills myself
CeeLo GreenAnd it inspired a Gnarls Barkley song called “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul Now.” Oh, it did. I was talking about James Brown, yeah.
