D Smoke & More Debate Best Get Up Anthems of L.A. | Billboard x Tres Generaciones Tequila

Billboard and Tres Generaciones Tequila are partnering to find out the Get Up Anthems of select cities, and for the final stop, we’re in Los Angeles. In conversation with Rocsi Diaz, L.A. natives D Smoke and The Game sat with Billboard’s Carl Lamarre to curate their top 10 Get Up Anthems for L.A. The list includes songs that inspired and energized their city, by L.A. artists, presented by Tres Generaciones Tequila.

The Game:
I’m gonna go, I’m throwing it. I’m throwing two. 

D Smoke:
Two? I was about to say. 

The Game:
Because somebody in there. 

D Smoke:
It’s not one, something’s one. 

The Game:
It’s not one. 

D Smoke:
That’s two, that’s two for sure. 

Rocsi Diaz:
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 communities. Our mission? To uncover the Ultimate Get Up Anthems for cities across the nation, and today we’re on the West Coast in the beautiful city of Los Angeles. Thanks, Jess.

Contributing to this discussion, I’m joined by L.A.’s very own The Game and D Smoke alongside Billboard‘s hip-hop and R&B guy Carl Lamarre. Just a few days ago, we began the selection process for L.A.’s Get Up anthems, and it was challenging, but with Billboard‘s exclusive chart data, we narrowed it down to just a few tracks that are in this bowl right now. They’re all up for discussion as we finalize the top 10 list and crown L.A.’s No. 1 Get Up Anthem. Before we jump into our exciting discussions, let’s toast L.A.’s diverse and illustrative musical legacy with a glass of Tres Generaciones Tequila. So here’s to the city where dreams come true. Cheers, fellas. This is good, Jess.

Wow, “We Can Freak It” Kurupt. Favorite backyard party song for sure, period.

Keep watching for more!
