On "Big Mouth" and "Friends," producer Larry Smith provides clutter-free tracks for the guys to rap over. Listening to Escape, one has to be struck with the minimalism offered here.

The just-as-good "Freaks Come Out at Night" has the guys talking about nocturnal freaks with vivid lyrics and a little too much inside information. While this isn't a conceptual masterpiece and really is nothing more than sure-shot singles and sound-alike single, "Five Minutes of Funk" was an instant classic. Unlike many rappers, Whodini got their beats and musical backing from synthesizers.

A vast improvement over the previous year's debut, Escape is the second album from the seminal no-nonsense New York rappers.
