Radio Free DC reviewed by The Guardian UK:
"Imagine if Public Enemy were a go-go-band, if Sly & the Family Stone made an album with Prince Paul at the controls, if Curtis Mayfield joined forces with a Bomb Squad stoned on 70s reefer, if Afrika Bambaataa had managed to coax one final tour of studio duty out of Norman Whitfield."

On Radio Free DC, the Fort Knox Five take things back to their roots and keep the vibe centered around the city they love, Washington DC.
The album opens with a straight up old school party jam, ??Insight,?? featuring Asheru, from the underground hip-hop group the Unspoken Heard. Asheru??s intelligent rhymes set the tone for the record ??? music with a meaning, party with a purpose, being smart with the art makes the average folk nervous?? Long time co-conspirator, Mustafa Akbar, then takes center stage on the album??s unifying anthem, ??Funk 4 Peace.?? Showcasing their indie rock roots with a heavy dose of Funk and Soul, the Fort Knox Five enlist Ian Svenonius (from DC Hardcore??s Nation of Ulysses and The Make Up) to proclaim step-by-step instructions on ??How to Start a Band??. Venturing deep into the heart of DC??s Jamaican Underground, the Fort Knox Five collaborate with Rootz and Zeebo from See-I, as well as the unrivaled, mic-specialist, Sleepy Wonder to deliver three of the album??s ragga fueled future classics, ??Killa Sound Boy,?? ??The Wonder Strikes Again?? and ??Not Gonna Take It??.
