Summary

One fateful weekend afternoon, Philadelphia based soul producer, Attic Tapes. (formerly known as Fishtown Beats) was digging thru the crates at his favorite record store when he stumbled upon a unique saxophone riff on a rare vinyl. A few hours later, he was playing the skeleton for a smooth jazzy instrumental off his SP-404 while rappers, MH the Verb and Drusef freestyled in his living room. The essence of Hip Hop... "I just fell in love with the groove of that sax sample, and I started rhyming immediately," said MH the Verb. Drusef added, "It felt like Louis Armstrong in 2016."

As for the verse... MH stated, "I had started writing some bars of this verse on the Megabus a few nights before on my way back from NYC. I spend a lot of time in coffee shops and I'm always meeting really interesting people with different stories. The first verse is very much a reference to many of the conversations I have these days when I meet girls. There's so much going on in the world and so many people with different points of view, I find the art of conversation to be a great release from my own world. Hence the concept of a Getaway."

The video (directed by Bob Sweeney) showcases all 3 of us doing what we love to do... hanging around the streets of Fishtown, Philadelphia and digging crates for vinyls. Long live records. Long live pure Hip Hop.
