Freak for Life 6996 (known to some as simply Freak For Life) is the fourth studio album by American rapper Luke. It was released on July 12, 1994 through Luke Records.

Production was handled by Mike "Fresh" McCray, DJ Slice, Darren "DJ Spin" Rudnick, DJ Laz and Eddie Miller, with Luke serving as executive producer. It features guest appearances from JT Money, Home Team, Fresh Kid Ice, Likkle Wicked, Trellini and Verb.

The album peaked at #174 on the Billboard 200 and #24 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, making it his lowest charting album at the time. One single found mild success, "It's Your Birthday" peaked at #33 on the Hot Rap Singles and #91 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.
