Every once in a while an artist comes along with such genuine talent, soul and ability it is hard to fathom how they had passed under the public radar for so long. Ellesquire is one of these artists, and with his debut album 'Ready' set to be released through Big Village, audiences across Australia will finally be exposed to the 'smooth as butter' delivery and knack for storytelling that makes Ellesquire one of the most exciting additions to the hip hop scene for years. 'Ready' is a 17-track collection of songs produced entirely by beatmaker/jazz musician extraordinaire P Major, featuring sample heavy, lo-fi beats alongside soulful, eloquent rhymes with guest spots by P.Smurf, Tenth Dan & Rapaport and cuts by Sam Z. Ellesquire blends humorous, self deprecating lyrics with more traditional hip hop style braggadocio battle raps while exploring topics from reflections on life and heart break to visions for his future. But not one to confine himself to just rapping Ellesquire also shows some singing talent handling hooks with a clear ear for melody.
