Performing a hallmark hometown anthem five consecutive times immediately established a psychological and auditory loop. The ritual mirrors classic hip-hop tradition (notably the 11-consecutive-repetition record of “Ni**as in Paris” in Paris in 2012), repurposed here as an emotional Chicago tribute.
