NYC-born and raised artist, performer, dancer and model Infinite Coles announced that his debut album ‘SweetFace Killah’ will be released on 5th December on Don’t Sleep/PIAS. Coinciding with the announcement, Infinite Coles also serves up the double single ‘SweetFaceKillah’/ ‘Dad & I.’

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. 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.

‘SweetFaceKillah’ sees Infinite own and claim the mean label he was called by online trolls, reframing a homophobic slur for the catchy intro hook, to deliver a bouncy R&B house banger that drips with unapologetic queer joy and defiance. Infinite delivers a slap-down with slick rap verses and soulful vocals that are fierce, yet vulnerable, taking direct aim at his father. As he rhymes “How you in a Mack truck, but forget you a father..Is it me? Am I not your cup of tea. Are my pants not low, like your self esteem. Do I need to f*ck a bitch, Just so you could see?”. The stylish ‘film noir’ style video for ‘SweetFaceKillah’ also drops today and is directed by Infinite’s best friend and key collaborator, the model and auteur Ugly Worldwide (aka Jazelle), featuring a talking head older man rapping the intro hook but with the voice of a girl rapper from the 90s. Infinite is looking tough, yet seductive, in braids, PVC and red leather, dancing and voguing as he drops his vocals and spits his bars.
