Given it’s pride month and all, we wanted to showcase some of our favorite queer musicians! Today’s artist: Big Freedia 💜 Big Freedia, aka the Queen of Bounce, is a rapper known for popularizing Bounce music, a style of hip-hop that originated in New Orleans in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Popular moves like twerking actually started in Bounce music! Big Freedia and the Bounce movement in general have both been largely denied their fair share of credit when it comes to their influence on popular music; Big Freedia’s voice has been used in videos by artists like Beyonce and Drake but she is largely unheard of, and her image is strangely absent from these collaborations. This is a common phenomenon among queer Black musicians, who are often denied the recognition they deserve. Big Freedia is a cool queer babe screwing the gender binary and performing gender in her own rad way, identifying as a gay man and using she/her pronouns, and y’all should check her out! #queermusic #bouncemusic #bigfreedia #lgbtq #pride
