A message from the renowned Chris Manak (aka, Peanut Butter Wolf) of Stone's Throw Records: "Franklin's music is entertaining, yet educational without being too preachy. Because he lives in Omaha, NE instead of a larger city like NY, LA, or ATL, he is more of a best kept secret than a household name. Yet he is one of the most interesting and inspiring people I've met in my 25+ years in the music industry. And he's got that thang." A message from Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers, 1972 Heisman Trophy Winner: "Sometimes when you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands and create a revolution like Franklin Thompson has done." A message from the artist: This purposeful old-school music project is for the thinking man and woman. Yes, It is a funky project for sure, but the overall message is aimed at the heart and the head, and not at the feet and the booty. And so, If you desire to "pop dat thang and drop yo body down to the flo," you might want to bypass this product and keep on stepping. IF, however, you are a person who abhors racism and social injustice; if you are concerned about the direction our nation is headed; if you care about the future of our children; if you thirst for truth and want to be a part of a growing cadre of people who seek more out of life than just narcissistic and materialistic gain, then this music project is the perfect antidote for the person seeking virtue. No, Freedom Fighter is not an award winning product by any stretch of the imagination. In the eyes of heaven, however, it is platinum. And, its lyrics and message are larger than life!
