It was also commercially successful, being the first hip-hop album to chart within the U.S. The album was a critical success upon release, and was praised by NME and Robert Christgau.
Although the group originally intended to record more rock-oriented material for the album, its music has a predominantly synthesizer-based backing, with a rhythm and blues influence. Whodini member Jalil Hutchins convinced Smith, his friend, to produce the album when Smith needed money after a friend's hospitalisation. The album was recorded at Battery Studios in London, where the group worked with producer Larry Smith after their management could not find them a producer. Escape is the second studio album by American hip hop group Whodini, released on Octoby Jive Records.
