JiD with Ciara and Earthgang, ‘Sk8’

The best roller-skating utopia song… ever? JID makes this a heaven-is-a-rink love song to Atlanta’s skating culture, with hometown goddess Ciara listing the names of revered roller palaces like a Homeric catalog, from Skatetowne to the Golden Glide to Cascade to the Sparkles Family Fun Center. (Plus there’s Skate Zone, which she’s never been to, so she ends the song deciding to take the girls tomorrow.) It’s got the ATL love of Metro Boomin’s excellent A Futuristic Summa packed into one song, with a trunkload of bass to remind everyone why Atlanta remains the forever home of forever stories. Pick-up line that would totally work on me: “Girl, you Nineties fine, got me using my Nineties eyes.”
