The groundbreaking fusion of Twista’s lightning-fast delivery and Kanye West’s innovative production is honored as Chicago’s number one, presented by Tres Generaciones Tequila

Tres Generaciones Tequila, a 50 year old brand introduced by the family that elevated tequila to a symbol of Mexican pride, and Billboard are partnering together for a year-long celebration of music’s transformative power to unveil the top songs that have energized, uplifted and excited six select cities, known as the ‘Get Up Anthems.’ These playlists are curated through a mix of editorial insight and data analytics, and honor the songs that define each city’s history and culture. In an exposed brick warehouse on Chicago’s Westside, hometown legends Twista, Vic Mensa, and Dreezy gathered with Billboard editor Kyle Denis to honor the Windy City’s rich musical heritage. These achievements not only solidified Twista’s place in mainstream hip-hop but also bolstered Kanye West’s reputation as a top-tier producer, making the audience feel the track’s commercial triumph.
