Raw as Fuck is an album by the British electronic music group Freestylers. Released in July 2004, it was the group's third album. It is also the first full-length album release from the Against the Grain label.[http://www.discogs.com/Freestylers-Raw-As-Fk/release/1104984 Raw As F**k] at Discogs The remix album was released almost a year later.[http://www.discogs.com/Freestylers-Raw-As-Fk-Remixed/release/468711 Raw As F**k (Remixed)] at Discogs

The album included breakbeat dance music, with tracks including the singles "Get a Life", "Push Up" and "Boom Blast". "Push Up" was particularly successful in Australia as a single, where it reached No. 2 in the charts, although in both Australia and the United Kingdom the album failed to make a major impact on the album charts.

The tracks "Punks", "The Slammer" and "No Replica" were originally from the singles the Freestylers created as Raw As Fuck in 2002–2003.Freestylers Singles/EPs The three singles were their first ever productions in Against the Grain.[http://www.discogs.com/label/Against+The+Grain Against The Grain] at Discogs

Despite the album's title, the album did not carry a "Parental Advisory – Explicit Content" warning due to a lack of substantial profanity on the tracks themselves.
