Big Freedia goes back to her roots on the 16-track “Central City,” the Queen of Bounce's first full-length studio album in nine years. Known for previous collaborations with Lizzo on “Karaoke” and Drake on “Nice for What” and for being sampled by Beyoncé on “Break My Soul,” Big Freedia grounds the album in her New Orleans heritage.
The Associated Press asked Big Freedia about the new album, explored the growing popularity of Bounce music and why playing in Tennessee on tour is so important to the artist.
