“Bounce has been through many iterations—from Triggerman to Sissy to Cash Money Bounce—but my new album is something I call Bigga Bounce,” Freedia said in a statement, per Variety. “Welcome to Central City, y’all, where I pay homage to my city, my roots, hip-hop, and to the art of creating a new sound.”
Freedia also has a docuseries on the way that will follow her as she navigates personal relationships, touring and new business ventures, including a hotel, cannabis, and beauty and fragrance lines.
