Mystic soul supernova, 'Based On A  True Story' aka BOATS is the debut  studio album from Fat Freddy's Drop  unleashed in May 2005.  The BOATS album features 10 fresh  slices of future funk, with surprises,  fakes & freaky sidesteps throughout.  BOATS is Aotearoa’s longest-charting  album with 111 weeks in the Top 40,  won eight NZ Music Awards and took  out Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Music  Awards in the UK.
