The Commercial Free EP is a live album recorded by North Carolina hip-hop group, Little Brother, in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 9, 2005, and released in 2006. Many of its tracks were included on Little Brother's 2005 album, The Minstrel Show, but some are brand new. The album has an anti-music industry sentiment and discusses various topics such as how they have to create three more tracks for the Japanese versions of their albums on "The Japanese People Never Took It".
