The New Orleans star released his new single, “El Nio,” on Monday (June 19). The song is a collaboration with Lil Wayne and Boyfriend and is a preview of his forthcoming album. According to Big Freedia press release, the theme of the song revolves around overcoming obstacles.
I would like to add to this that El Nio is about overcoming all storms that come your way in life by going harder than ever! ” According to Big Freedia. The song stands out for me as one of the most memorable on the album. In this collaboration, I am collaborating with Lil Wayne for the first time, who I have been wanting to work with for quite some time. In it, I collaborate with my long-time collaborator Boyfriend. This song has been written specifically for our city, and we are confident that it will blow everyone away!”
A new EP, Central City, is expected to follow up on the 2021 EP Big Diva Energy, which included six cuts and features contributions from Tank and The Bangas, Soaky Siren, Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph, Jake Shears, Marc Rebillet, and Jax. She has since been featured on many singles, including Psy Riot “POOF BCH,” Beyoncé’ “BREAK MY SOUL,” and Slayyyter “Stupid Boy.”
