On January 25, 2012 before clocks struck midnight all of New Orleans was glued to TV screens. History was being made on a national level by a certain " Queen Diva " breaking network televison barriers... This was the day Bounce Rap Artist " Big Freedia " took the stage in Hollywood, California on Jimmy Kimmel Live. An eventful experience for the alternative genre` of Bounce Music.

His appearance instantly propeled the rap sport into a global trending topic on all Social Media platforms. Most of the feedback was positive. Since Hurricane Katrina many true New Orleans residents crave that unmistakable beat known as " Triggerman ".  Originated by the likes of DJ Jubilee, DJ Erv & TT Tucker and more in the early 90's Bounce Music its evolved its own sound. Alongside whatever lyrics chosen by the artist the music forces you to literally bend over and thrust your pelvic muscles to the rapid unescapable beat. Think " Zumba " but with a different swag. Like Zumba, you're sweaty afterwards and its clear.. YOU'VE BEEN WORKED ALL THE WAY OUT.

Big Freedia has been working his way to the top of Bounce for well over a decade. Designing his own concert sets in unique style even snagged him the title of Interior Designer when he isn't touring. Many say he's the hardest working man of Bounce and with his tour schedule for 2012 it would be hard for anyone to argue that fact.

His Public Relations team " Balling PR " has had a " ball " accepting media / booking requests from all over the globe... Seems everyone wants to " Catch That Beat " and bounce it out with Big Freedia. He does what he wants.. how he wants all in the name of Bounce ~ All races flock to his shows and as the music plays everyone from businessmen to college girls BOUNCE to Big Freedia. He's done collabs with many artists and he reps New Orleans where ever he goes.... and even teaches BOUNCE CLASSES ~ So is it safe to say that.... Big Freedia is the Lil Wayne of Bounce ?
