Escape is the second album by hip-hop group Whodini, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music) on the Jive label. The album spawned the hit singles "Five Minutes of Funk," "Friends," which peaked at #87 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's only Hot 100 entry, and "Freaks Come Out at Night". This was one of the first rap albums ever to include a synclavier. Whodini are pioneers in the field of sampling. The album has been certified platinum.
