Big Freedia may be celebrating the recent success of her new FUSE reality series Big Freedia Means Business, but the Grammy-nominated Queen of Bounce is ready to once again take over the music charts. In honor of Juneteenth, she released a fiery new track titled “El Niño,” featuring acclaimed rapper Lil Wayne and rising star Boyfriend. According to the music icon, she says, “El Niño” is about going hard in any storms that come in life and conquering them. It’s one of my favorite songs on this record; it features my longtime collaborator Boyfriend, and it’s also my first collab with Lil Wayne, who I’ve wanted to work with for a long time. We put it down for our city, and this song is gonna have everyone blowin’ down!”
“El Niño” is the fourth single from Big Freedia’s upcoming album, Central City, which will release Friday, June 23. Released through her own label Queen Diva (ADA Worldwide), the album promises to be a groundbreaking project that pushes boundaries, showcases Big Freedia’s evolution as an artist, and brings together an incredible lineup of talent. Alongside Lil Wayne and Boyfriend, Central City features captivating collaborations with esteemed artists such as Faith Evans, Ciara, Kelly Price, Kamaiyah, Sonyae, and the Soul Rebels.
As an irrepressible force behind bounce rap music going mainstream, not only does Big Freedia love to get the party started, but her projects come with a message that will immediately capture our attention. Her unique blend of infectious energy, fearless lyricism, and genre-defying soundscapes will captivate listeners and solidify her status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, and her signature creativity and resilience continues to set her apart and inspire many others.
In addition to her big album release, Big Freedia is also set to go on tour this summer, and one of her stops will be this weekend at Denver PrideFest. So, everyone better make their way over to the Center Stage on Sunday, June 25, at 3:00 p.m., because Big Freedia is ready to shake the Mile High City down.
