INFINITE COLES ANNUNCIA L’ALBUM DI DEBUTTO ‘SWEETFACEKILLAH’ IN USCITA IL 5 DICEMBRE VIA DON’T SLEEP/PIAS.

The acclaimed NYC-born and raised artist, performer, dancer and model Infinite Coles has announced that his long-anticipated debut album ‘SweetFace Killah’, produced by Zach Witness (Doechii, Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu) will be released on 5th December on Don’t Sleep/PIAS. Coinciding with the announcement, artist also serves up the incredible double single ‘SweetFaceKillah’/ ‘Dad & I’, his deeply personal third offering ahead of his album, with both tracks fearlessly exploring joy, pain, love, anger and resilience, expressing each side of his complicated relationship with his father, the rap icon Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan, who Infinite is estranged from and hasn’t seen or spoken to in over 10 years.

She 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, 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, Kamasi Washington, featuring on the track ‘Bloodshot Red Eyes’ with Green Gartside. 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 incendiary ‘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. She delivers a slap-down with slick rap verses and soulful vocals that are fierce, yet vulnerable, taking direct aim at his father. The stylish “film noir” style video for titletrack is directed by her’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.
