Ellequire's debut album ‘Ready’ combines his smooth, flowing delivery and storytelling style with sample-heavy, lo-fi and crunchy beats from P. Major (who is also well-known on the Sydney jazz scene) that pay tribute to 90s hip hop, while keeping a fresh feel by experimenting with different rhythms and melodies.
Ellesquire has been developing his music for over a decade. His first few years were spent recording in his bedroom with no intentions of showing anybody, and while his audience has grown since, his writing still maintains its deeply personal quality. Ellesquire explores topics from working life, love, and a cheeky look at his (not always successful) attempts to pick-up women. He manages to pull-off several singing hooks over the course of the album with a strong sense of melody and soulful tone.
Listeners may also know Ellesquire from his group Loose Change (Ellesquire, Rapaport & producer P. Major) who dropped their debut album last year to warm reviews. Ellesquire has also played alongside other hip hop artists such as Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), Urthboy, Horrorshow, Ozi Batla and Thundamentals.
