Apocraphe - The Escapist Handbook (Album)

In these turbulent, torrid times, imagine finding, in a corner gathering dust, a book: A Field Guide on How to Escape. Such an imagined discovery became the starting point for ‘The Escapist Handbook’, a 15 track tribute to escapism in its many forms by UK-born, French resident MC Apocraphe.

A Leicester native and now French resident, Apocraphe was a primal force in Midlands hiphop in the early 2000’s. Despite decades in the art form, or perhaps because of it, his form of lyricism remains fresh and relevant, and his new album ‘The Escapist Handbook’ touches on every element of hip hop from boombap to drill, covering the spectrum of the art form and making it accessible to all generations and every type of listener.
