Big Freedia - " Gin In My System " - live at the Bluebird in Denver
On Big Freedia / "Queen Diva" :
The openly gay rapper, a representative of New Orleans' vibrant underground music scene, helped bring bounce music — the energetic brand of hip-hop born in New Orleans that's conducive to the mid-section, hip-shaking dance move known as twerking — to the masses. "It's been around for two decades. It's the culture there, it's history there," he said of the dance. In September 2013, Big Freedia earned a Guinness World Records title for most people twerking simultaneously with more than 250 people in New York's Herald Square.
