It looks like Drake's 'In My Feelings' is well on its way to becoming a number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 list thanks to its catchy hook and to the viral dance challenge that Instagram comedian @TheShiggyShow kicked off by dancing to the track in a June 29 Instagram video. Now, everyone from your little cousin, to your grandma, to Will Smith and Ryan Seacrest is doing the simple, yet infectious, dance for the 'Gram. I literally haven't seen this level of intergenerational dance challenge participation since 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)' by Silentó dropped (and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). Anyway, The Shiggy wouldn't even be a dance craze if it weren't for Drake's original lyrics, which reference different girls' names and ask them if they're down with Drake and if they're going to stay with him forever. And now, the whole internet wants to know one thing: Who is Kiki from 'In My Feelings'?
OK, well, before we dive into the song's muse, let's dive into the dance craze that made the song go even more viral than it already was just by being a Drake song. Here's the inception of The Shiggy — a simple video of Shiggy, the Instagram comedian, dancing to 'In My Feelings' like a goof (as he does for many other popular songs on his Instagram). It's unclear whether he knew this video, in particular, was going to kick off the world's hottest new dance craze, but that doesn't matter at this point.
In the video, he dances to the now-iconic lyrics:
Kiki, do you love me? / Are you riding? / Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me / Cause I want ya, and I need ya / And I’m down for you always
But who is Kiki, Drake? You can't just be out here dropping songs with random names in them and not giving us some details as to what girl you were madly in love with when you were writing the song!
Well, Drake fans did some digging and, at first, they thought that the Kiki mentioned in 'In My Feelings' was singer, TV personality, and fellow Canadian Keshia “KeKe” Chanté.
Drake actually has a long-documented crush on the former 106 & Park host. During a 2013 episode of 106 & Park, he reportedly admitted to writing songs about her, sharing, 'You were one of my first crushes, and a lot of people might not know this, but I actually rapped about you before,' according to XXL.
Check Drake out getting his flirt on in this throwback clip from the show:

Adding fuel to the fire behind this fan theory, fans uncovered a tweet Chanté posted back in April (before Scorpion even dropped) that seemed to hint that she had been included in someone's song, writing, 'he put it in a song so i know it’s real ❤️.'
Could that song be 'In My Feelings' by Drake, by any chance?!
Apparently not. Because fans realized that in the second go of 'In My Feelings' chorus, Drake sings 'KB, do you love me?' instead of, 'Kiki, Do you love me?' Considering Keshia Chanté's last name begins with a C, it seems like that variation in the lyrics disqualifies her from being Kiki, no?
Well, fans have another theory: Introducing K’yanna Barber.
According to a report by Genius, a 'credible source' close to the situation claims Drake is actually referencing Barber in 'In My Feelings'. She's a woman from Oakland, California that Drake was romantically linked to back in October 2017, according to gossip outlets. Elite Daily reached out to Drake's team for comment on the fan speculation surrounding Barber, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
Whether the song is about Barber or not, she seems to be taking fans thinking it is in stride. Since Scorpion was released, she's posted a few different tweets that hint that she's totally touched by her 'Drake's muse' status.
The verdict is still out on who, exactly, 'In My Feelings' is about, though, considering Drake still hasn't offered confirmation. But, Drizzy, if you love me, you should definitely just spill the beans. K, thanks!
Like most musicians, inspiration usually strikes me at the most awkward moments.
I’ve lost count of the number of dead cert hit singles (honest…) and killer vocal lines i’ve cooked up while lying in bed, at work or when visiting the family…. and forgotten before I could get them even roughly recorded.
I’m sure you’ve been there too, right?

Luckily all that changed when the Garageband app for IOS came along…
I love the flexibility of Garageband on the iPhone/iPad. Having a mini recording studio in my pocket means that wherever I am and whatever I’m doing – when that flash of inspiration strikes, i’m able to capture and record those fickle melodies, fleeting tunes and sneaky beats whenever they pop into my head.
There often comes a point however, when I go as far as i can with the Garageband App and want to take my project a bit further – give it the full on Garageband ’11 treatment, you know?

Mod organizer error downloading. Hit the share icon in the top left hand corner of the screen to bring up this menu. From here, select ‘Share song via iTunes’.
Step 3
You’ll then be greeted by this screen. Choose to send your song to iTunes as a Garageband file.
Step 4
Now, connect your iPhone/iPad to the Mac you intend to transfer it to, then open iTunes and select your device from the sidebar. From here, click ‘Apps’ from the device’s menu bar.
Step 5
Scroll down to your selection of file sharing apps and select Garageband from the list. The project you sent to iTunes will be visible in the list to the right – select it, choose ‘Save To…’ and plonk it wherever you see fit.
Step 6
From here, it’s simply a case of opening your transferred project the same way you would any normal Garageband project, though if you haven’t already, you’ll have to download an IOS compatability update before you’re able to dive in.
There you have it – transfer your Garageband IOS Projects over to Garageband ’11 in 6 easy steps.
This article was inspired by the lovely Rosa Naccarato’s query on The Garageband Guide Facebook Page, where she was wondering how to transfer a Garageband project from her iPad to her son’s Mac.

written by Samuel Francis Smith
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
Additional verse to celebrate Washington's Centennial:
Our joyful hearts today,
Their grateful tribute pay,
Happy and free,
After our toils and fears,
After our blood and tears,
Strong with our hundred years,
O God, to Thee.
Additional verses by Henry van Dyke:
We love thine inland seas,
Thy groves and giant trees,
Thy rolling plains;
Thy rivers' mighty sweep,
Thy mystic canyons deep,
Thy mountains wild and steep,--
All thy domains.
Thy silver Eastern strands,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Fronting the West;
Thy flowery Southland fair,
Thy North's sweet, crystal air:
O Land beyond compare,
We love thee best!
Additional Abolitionist verses by A. G. Duncan, 1843
My country, 'tis of thee,
Stronghold of slavery, of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Where men man’s rights deride,
From every mountainside thy deeds shall ring!
My native country, thee,
Where all men are born free, if white’s their skin;
I love thy hills and dales,
Thy mounts and pleasant vales;
But hate thy negro sales, as foulest sin.
Let wailing swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees the black man’s wrong;
Let every tongue awake;
Let bond and free partake;
Let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
Our father’s God! to thee,
Author of Liberty, to thee we sing;
Soon may our land be bright,
With holy freedom’s right,
Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King.
It comes, the joyful day,
When tyranny’s proud sway, stern as the grave,
Shall to the ground be hurl’d,
And freedom’s flag, unfurl’d,
Shall wave throughout the world, O’er every slave.
Trump of glad jubilee!
Echo o’er land and sea freedom for all.
Let the glad tidings fly,
And every tribe reply,
'Glory to God on high,' at Slavery’s fall.

My Project: Blue keeps the string of excellent pop bands from Vancouver alive. Their debut on Boompa is a five-song gem produced by the Salteens' Scott Walker with a light touch and an adventurous ear. He and the band create a hermetically sealed retro pop world of creaky old synths, pianos, organs, bells, and perfect layers of electric and acoustic guitars, then plug in catchy and gently energetic tunes like 'Messed Up in the Heart,' 'Control of Me,' and 'These Re-Occuring Nightmares' coming up with some very fine indie pop in the process. When the band tries something a bit different like 'The Boy Who Wore Red,' a Bowie-esque space ballad that cleverly juxtaposes synths and clarinets and gives full rein to singer Chad Blue's endearing vocal eccentricities, they are just as good. The only minor misstep is the gloomy (but still good) 'Consume,' which closes the EP on a somber note. The band does perky and sweet so well, one wishes they didn't feel the need to work blue. Still, it does show another dimension to the group that could come in handy when they record a full-length album. Keep an eye out for that album because if it's as good as this EP, it will be darn good indeed.
