《 Dark Lane Demo Tapes 》 是 Drake 在2020年5月1日發表的第五張 Mixtape,共收錄14首歌曲。
“Chicago Freestyle” 是 Drake 和 R&B 歌手 GIVĒON 一起巡演時創作的歌曲。因為每去一個城市他們就會試著製作一段 freestyle,因此這首歌被稱為 “Chicago Freestyle”。
而這首 “Chicago Freestyle” 在上線一周內就迅速拿下 Billboard Hot 100 排名第14名。
歌詞小知識:
*The Bean: Cloud Gate,也被俗稱為 “The Chicago Bean” (芝加哥豆) 而聞名。是由印裔英國雕塑家 Anish Kapoor 設計的公共藝術雕塑,於 2004 年在芝加哥千禧公園首次亮相。該雕塑已成為芝加哥的標誌性建築,也是該市最受歡迎的旅遊景點之一。
*The Windy City: 芝加哥的綽號,“風城”。其一是因為芝加哥因來自密歇根湖的風而導致的寒冷氣溫,長年風大。但這個名字實際上是在 1800 年代衍生出來的,當時描述芝加哥市的政客們吹著 “hot air”,比喻他們總是吐出很多東西,卻沒有任何實質內容。
*30℉: 華氏三十度,約攝氏-1度 (-1℃)。
[Chorus: Giveon] Two-thirty, baby, won't you meet me by The Bean? 已經下午兩點半,寶貝,不是說好的,妳會在豆子雕塑旁和我見面嗎?
