Naarm/Melbourne artist Kwasi makes sure we're 'Ready To Go' on super fiery new single

Naarm/ Melbourne-based artist Kwasi, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, captivating audiences with his raw and boundary-pushing sound. His new single, ‘Ready To Go’ is a perfect example of that.

With a creative alchemy that knows no bounds, Kwasi's music combines the fiery energy of punk-rock with the luring essence of alternative hip hop. Kwasi's lyrics and production reflect his deep admiration for rap and hip hop, resulting in a unique sonic experience.

Kwasi's career has been marked by groundbreaking collaborations and remarkable achievements. From his 2022 release 'Self Sabotage', featuring Congrats (Ben Stewart of Slowly Slowly) and produced by Hamley, to the trailblazing 'Aura Glow' in 2018, which showcased his innovative artistry alongside Allday and Gracelands, Kwasi has continuously pushed the boundaries as an artist. 

Now, Kwasi is set to release his highly anticipated single 'Ready To Go', an anthem that encapsulates the spirit of overcoming life's trials and tribulations through the power of music.

The track surges with an energetic and unapologetic fervour, while simultaneously maintaining a laid-back and introspective vibe. With poignant lyrics that address themes of isolation, confusion, and heartache, 'Ready To Go' invites listeners to shake off life's stresses and embrace the cathartic power of music.

When hip hop dips its many tentacles into other alternative genres, a new spark fires up and breathes life into a scene that is, to be blunt, over-saturated. Kwasi merges touches of emo punk with the distinct flavours of Australian Hip Hop to create something intense and insanely bouncy. ‘Ready To Go’ is a sub-three minute fireball of super compressed, fun beats, simple punk chord progressions, and Kwasi’s slick flow, including one hell of a catchy hook. 

'Ready To Go' is a testament to Kwasi's distinctive sound and creative vision, showcasing his mastery of blending sweeping melodies and fiery beats. Contrasting frantic energy with the cool, calm and collected, this multifaceted track has Kwasi's fingerprints all over it.

Throughout his career, Kwasi has shared stages with renowned artists such as 360, Banks Arcade, Evangeline, Genesis Owusu, Congrats, Illy, Allday, Sophie Grophy, D12, M-Phazes, Xzibit, Hopsin, and Yelawolf, solidifying his presence in the music industry. 

Having received widespread recognition, with support from influential platforms and stations (multiple major Spotify play listings, and love from Triple J), the industry is embracing Kwasi’s raw, authentic and imaginative artistry.

‘Ready To Go’ is out now, waiting for your earholes, on all streaming platforms.
