Here's an excerpt about the Mad City 2010 project:

"Mad City 2010" is an extremely creative, eclectic album of songs that has been referred to 

as "a Cliffs Notes on modern-day society." Dealing with subjects such as war, the 

environment, HIV/AIDS, the over-reliance on technology and racism, Eddy Free's "Mad City 

2010" does not shy away from difficult, socially-conscious subject matter. Musically, it 

combines hip-hop and elements of soul, electro-pop, classical and 

jazz.
