The Birth of Bounce: Mannie Fresh Explains How Obscure Songs Became New Orleans Classics

Mannie Fresh gives a masterclass on the creation of New Orleans Bounce music, explaining how an out of town 12" single Showboys’ “Drag Rap” became known as “Trigger Man,” why the 808 section made crowds lose their minds, and how DJs began looping that break to spark call and response chants in the projects. He also breaks down how Derek B’s “Rock the Beat” became another imported record that may have been deemed a commercial failure yet found an everlasting second life in New Orleans.
