This is the cover art for the album "Escape" by Whodini.
After being introduced to Hip-Hop over a year before, when I first heard the breakthrough instrumental “Rockit” by Herbie Hancock, my interest in the genre grew stronger in the Fall of 1984. I still recall a few of us sixth graders huddled around a shoebox tape player after lunch, taking in the foundational rhythms and rhymes of “Friends” and “Freaks Come Out at Night”; all so fresh and new to our ears. Escape was the first Hip-Hop album to chart within the U.S. Top 40.
