Estelle Chats to ilikemusic.com
To most hip hop fans Estelle needs no introduction. In 2002 Tim Westwood declared her as "a UK talent to look out for" and last year Music Week cited her as the one UK rapper "most likely to challenge the mainstream". Over the past two years she has built up a formidable reputation both on the street and in the media and her album "The 18th Day" is now due for release on 18th of October.
We caught up with Estelle before the release of her second single, Free, to chat about life, music, and the dead guy with the cats.
ILM: Free is out in October, followed by your debut album, tell me a bit about Free and it's whole vibe?
Estelle: The whole vibe with Free was to do something completely different from what everyone else was feeling and what I really felt at the time. Everyone has this whole idea of how, to be a rapper you had to be thuggin' and come from some hard knock of life. Looking at my life, it's been hard but I put a positive slant on it. Because the whole thing is like, this is me, this is always going to be me.

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
