INFINITE
Infinite definitely knows the art of storytelling.
Once quoted by Kwame, on-air personality of the new KISS 92 FM as being, "the
underground ghetto brother that just pushes it on a commercial level" his
knowledge comes from the heart, which is his reality.
The Beatfactory/EMI RapEssentials: Volume 2
wisely chose "Gotta Get Mine" as the first single off the compilation,
catapulting Infinite into the North American spotlight. "Gotta Get Mine" rang in
at an incredible number 17 on Energy 108 top 108 of 1997. Infinite has been
selected as the spokesperson for "Chill Out", a clothing drive for the homeless,
in which the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors are sponsors. He has also
made a host appearance on MuchMusic's Rap City as well as performing along side
Bob Marley's band, The Wailers on MuchMusic's Da Mix, Black History Month
discussion panel.
"Take a Look" accomplished the feat of being the first single off the BMG distributed album
RapEssentials: The Rebirth, helping the compilation sell more than 5, 000 copies
in its first week. The four minute fully animated video for "Take a Look" was
well embraced by the MuchMusic staff. The video was immediately placed in heavy
rotation, once again setting new standards for urban music.
"Take a Look" was charted on MuchMusic's
Rap City Top 5 for 6 weeks during June and July 1999, holding down the number
one position for three consecutive weeks. Infinite's performance at the 1999
NXNE showcase helped to highlight Canada's urban independent music scene. On
June 11, 1999, Infinite was one of the featured acts in the Toronto Sun
(circulation 1 million) coverage of NXNE.
