Two years since his latest release on the Budabeats netlabel, Crookram is finally coming out with a new album. If you're familiar with his previous work this album might be somewhat of a surprise. It has been a couple of years in the making, during which time musical genres like soul, funk, hiphop and library music have been combined with modern downtempo beats and movie samples to create a funky yet dusty seventies vibe.

You can expect scratchy records, mysterious movie samples and a great talent for production, elements which have been praised already by many people involved in the downtempo scene.

Bankrupt Recordings proudly presents its first release from hiphop collaborators Sagesse & Crookram titled Escape, the E.P. This dynamical duo hails from The Netherlands and brings us a surprisingly fresh collection of hiphop tracks. Their music is a rich variety of 70s jazz, reggae and funk samples combined with modern hiphop beats.

Escape, the E.P. is internationally oriented, featuring guest appearances from Nairobi (Escape) and Rotterdam (Patterns of Thought). Warrior is already causing a buzz in the underground scene, sure to become a hit in the forthcoming months.
