Free City is the only studio album by hip-hop group St. Lunatics. It was released on June 5, 2001, almost a full year after the release of group member Nelly's debut, Country Grammar. The album was a commercial success as it debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 with 196,000 copies sold in its first week. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA a month later.
The title Free City came from their fifth member City Spud who was incarcerated at the time of release.
