It’s hard to believe Azz Everywhere is BIG FREEDIA’s vinyl debut. The “Queen Diva” of New Orleans bounce has been performing in New Orleans for over fifteen years, and for the last two has been touring nationally with DJ RUSTY LAZER and her dancers, spreading the gospel from the Third Ward to the whole world. The a-side of her first 12-inch features one of her most well-known and deeply loved anthems, “Azz Everywhere,” as well instrumental and a capella versions of the party starter. The New York Times has called her a “leading light of bounce,” and describes her music as “energetic, astounding and cathartic.” The B-side of the 12-inch features three live cuts, “Gin In My System,” “Make Ya Booty Go” and “I Got The Power,” (produced by DJ BLAQNMILD with intros and outros from DJ K-REAL) preserving on wax the kinetic performances that have drawn such lofty praise. There’s nothing like Freedia herself telling you to “Bend ova/ like I told ya,” but if you can’t shake it to the real thing, this record is an indispensable artifact, and a living testament to our primal and spiritual need to toot it up. Touring April, May and June, 2011.
