Freedom Band is the fourth studio album by American Latin hip hop group Delinquent Habits, released in 2003.[3][4][5] The single, "U Don't Own Me", samples Lesley Gore's notable song.[6]

Critical reception[edit]

The Plain Dealer wrote that Delinquent Habits "brings the noise on its fourth album, with 14 charged originals produced solely by the group."[1] AllMusic called Freedom Band "a party album," writing that "the group mixes a contemporary sound with traces of Latin horns and guitars."[2]
