‘Forms of Escapism’ is certainly a wide, eclectic album. A compilation featuring fourteen independent artists, the record is a slice of artistic paradise, a small rendition of what the American hip-hop scene has to offer at the moment. In it, the keen listener will discover not only traditional rap stylings and futuristic sound design, but also spoken words, and more obscure, experimental pieces.
The record is compiled by Proven Knowledge, an Ohio-based collective founded by MC JayTrey and producer Anthony Church. Together, they aim to empower and uplift fellow creatives and artists, while providing a multi-disciplinary platform where they can reach a wider audience. ‘Forms of Escapism’ is the ultimate celebration of such an endeavour, and we can certainly say there’s a considerable amount of talent in it. Worth your attention!
