With Features by many of the talented Goontrax rappers located around the world, from the likes of Nieve, The 49ers, Tunji and many more. Growing up Soulchef was highly influenced by the Jazz of the 50s, the Soul from the 70s and Hip Hop from the 90s, these influences can be heard all the way through the album giving a fresh and fantasy like feel to 'Escapism'. The title itself was inspired by the late Michael Jackson, in an interview he stated that music was his escape from reality. This feeling is carried throughout the album and will have all listeners drifting in a daydream. When asked about the content of the album Soulchef said "...i wanted to make an album that all people could relate to, for me music has always been an escape and i wanted to take people on that journey with me."
This Journey is one where horns, violins and vocals talk about love, escaping, everyday struggles and the state of hip hop. There is a song for everyone and its gauranteed that everyone will love the jazzy tunes that make you wanna close your eyes and just listen. Many of Soulchefs music has featured on label mates albums and the instrumental of "Never Been In Love Like This" feat.
