The Great Escape paints the story of a young man transitioning in life and accepting the sobering responsibilities of fatherhood while pursuing a dream. Kris Kasanova, the author of these stories, pulls from his own life experiences and those around him coming from what he describes as "the bottom of the bottom" which is Red Hook, Brooklyn. The Great Escape is not about leaving your physical environment but being free mentally to explore your true greatness. He's proud of where he has come from, and in every record, whether a quick witted line or a sixteen bar stance, he drives home the urgency to progress, not only for himself, but to empower his people to do so as well leaving behind a path of greatness for others to follow.
