SweetFace Killah

Infinite Coles was raised by rap royalty and born into the family of multi-platinum rap icons Wu Tang Clan. The estranged son of Ghostface Killah and the nephew of RZA, Infinite first appeared on the scene in Dazed’s cult short film ‘Gang’, hailed as ‘Saturday Night Fever for the vogue-tumblr generation’, which led him to be sought out by XL Records supremo Richard Russell to collaborate on his Everything Is Recorded debut album, alongside artists like Sampha, Syd, Giggs, Ibeyi and Kamasi Washington, featuring on the track ‘Bloodshot Red Eyes’ with Green Gartside. It has been a turbulent path, traversing personal battles and vulnerabilities that Infinite faced growing up as a queer African American and a member of a rap dynasty. 

The debut EP ‘Destiny’ came out in 2021, and was a tribute to his late twin sister and enlisted respected instrumentalists and innovators, from Sampha, to saxophonist CKTRL and rapper-producer Wiki. The EP received high praise from NME, Crack, Mixmag, The Line Of Best Fit and Notion and connected far and wide with peers in the New York, London and globally.

‘SweetFace Killah’ is a collection of 12 tracks that showcase Infinite’s innate vocal gifts, fearless approach to lyricism and songwriting, teaming up with producer Zach Witness (Doechii, Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu)  to deliver a feast of sonic experimentations. The album reflects Infinite’s journey, through numerous personal challenges to authentically express himself fearlessly and joyously, free from fear of judgement, while channelling his deep connection to the vibrant Vogue-Ballroom culture and identity. 

Tracks include the singles ‘BGM’  and ‘Boots Ballroom C*nt Mix’ featuring Maleigh Zan & Julz, which were both released earlier this summer, with ‘Boots Ballroom C*nt Mix’ hailed as “An anthem that serves as a manifesto in serving”  by Clash. Other album highlights include explosive, high-energy bangers like ‘DMs’, a stomping afro-house cut that tells the haters in his DMs to shut the hell up, and ‘Shoot’ a booty-bass banger that tells a hater to relax and enjoy the night. There are also slower, soul-stirring tunes like ‘Mama Song’ an infectious afro-house cut which is an ode to all the mothers, ‘Thankful’ an R&B soul track that is full of gratitude for how far he has come, to powerfully emotive piano ballads like ‘Body Strong’.

Infinite Coles said, “I am proud and excited to announce my debut album.  It is the culmination of my journey and I can’t wait to share it with the world. I want to thank all my incredible collaborators Zach Witness, Robot Moonjuice, Ugly Worldwide, so many to name, but you know who you are. I love you, family.”
