In case you don’t know – The No Limit Party with Orion, Cauze One and Big Freedia is tomorrow night. There are two elements of this party. 1 – The music of No Limit Records. 2 – New Orleans Bounce artist Big Freedia. If you aren’t familiar with bounce music, its history is long and proud and deeply rooted in New Orleans. Get learn-ed:
Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop music which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s, but is typically believed to have begun with the 1991 single “Where Dey At” by MC T.Tucker and DJ Irv. Check out the trailer for the film Ya Heard Me
Bounce is characterized by call and response style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual. These chants and call-outs are typically sung over the “Triggerman beat“, which is sampled from the song “Drag Rap” by the Showboys, or “Brown beat” by Cameron Paul, and also Derek B’s “Rock The Beat”.
Mad Decent label head and internationally known DJ Diplo went to New Orleans to do some investigating of his own. Check the video here:
