A TRUE ESCAPE ARTIST.
Following my relocation out of central NY to Raleigh, NC, The Great Escape serves as the next installment in my “Escape” series and the sequel to my 2021 album The Morbid The Merrier.
My move to Raleigh meant freedom from the ball-and-chain feelings that I discussed on my previous album, as well as finding escape from constant escapism - quite a paradoxical predicament. However, the adventure back to the realm of reality takes courage.
But boasting a revitalized spirit, the narration of my journey south came easy with a brand new combination of sound filled with energetic drums, hopeful melodies, and, of course, concentrated bars.
In 9 tracks total with one, sole feature from my old friend and Central New York artist LeekyXIV, I dedicate this fresh escape to my older brother Tom, a big influence on my hip-hop identity. I have scattered an easter egg hunt of childhood references throughout my LP in the form of samples, backgrounds adlibs, and straight up metaphors. Hey Tom, can you catch ‘em all?
From intro to outro, I offer 27 minutes of pure honesty with zero filler, covering a variety of themes, including:
- The positive/negative effects of escapism
- The importance of hope
- Gratitude of being different
The Great Escape is the next chapter of my life, filled with sunny days, open-minded perspectives, and a new desire to live to see the next day.
