Big Freedia's Smokin Santa Christmas, Big Freedia (Queen Diva)

Anybody with a cable TV subscription has probably encountered this artist when scrolling past the program listings for Fuse TV, but she's (preferred pronoun) originally famous as a performer of the formerly underground hip-hop form called "bounce." For 2020 we get this EP of original tunes in the form, featuring assists from Flo Milli on "Better Be" and Maxine Jones on "Heatin Up the Holidays." "Nutcracker" is more of a slow jam rap, "Boy Toy Shop" is pretty much what you would expect regarding the output of one particular holiday workshop, and "Smoked Out Santa" mentions grinding up and smoking Christmas trees to the tune of the same-named carol; not sure if this is effective, but it appears to work for Santa, at least according to the song. I feel like this is more for Big Freedia completists, but if it makes you giggle, go for it. Note that three of five songs have the "explicit" label before you drop any of them into your holiday playlists. While working on this post, I unearthed 2020's "Funky Christmas" by Too Many Zooz that features Big Freedia, as well as another EP from 2016, A Very Big Freedia Christmas, more of the same with "So Frosty," "Santa Is a Gay Man," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "Twas the Night." Plus there's "Make It Jingle" from the soundtrack to 2016's movie "Office Christmas Party." So there's enough out there to have yourself a bounce Christmas if you like.
