Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the fabulous musician and icon INFINITE COLES!
For those unfamiliar, yes Infinite Coles is the son of Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang - just to address that particular genetic detail! Though Infinite is in no way staying in what we now know as the familiar Wu lane, or using the name to get over. Far from it. Infinite is proudly out there as a queer artist as they bloody well should be, and dropping fierce dancefloor boulders so far from those discordant RZA Stax soul loops of the 90's. Kicking things off in this chat with a hint of self-proclaimed nerves, these soon melt as the two go in on all kinds of conversational gold, including said Wu connections of course, London as 2nd home, stylist and model friend groups, finding their voice and going in on it, mutual pal Uglyworldwide, mutual pal Richard Russell (XL Recordings), the fusion of ballroom / vogueing / house music, covid era shelter experiences, RZA coming through when others didn't, reclaiming slurs, alternative perspectives of family songs of the past, the process of penning a song about a parent in a very tough moment, and ohhh so much more. It's definitely a situation where you're better off just diving in on this episode. You'll get it. A lovely, uplifting and inspiring conversation from a voice of which we will hopefully hear more.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 648. And I've just got home after recording this episode and I wanted to record an intro immediately because despite the fact it's taken me like two hours to get home, I'm still buzzing from me. This is one of my favourite episodes I've ever recorded. And bear in mind, like, I always flag |
| 0:21.7 | the Mary J. Blige episode as one of my favorites I've ever recorded. But I think it's criminally |
| 0:26.4 | under, underlistened, underrated. But that one was great because it was a press thing, and it |
| 0:32.5 | took a while for Mary to warm up. So it meant a lot to me that we started quite straight question answer interview, |
| 0:40.1 | and by the end, it was all flowing. And today's guest is Infinite Coles, right, who I tried to |
| 0:46.7 | line up a Zoom chat with for a while, but then they were in the UK, and I was like, right, let's get |
| 0:51.8 | an in-person chat. Infinite Coles has blown up recently |
| 0:55.0 | because they've had two songs, Sweet Face Killer and Dad and I, and they're both addressing |
| 1:02.4 | the fractured relationship between them and their dad, who's Ghost Face Killer, from Wutan |
| 1:09.0 | Klan. And Infinite is part of the LGBTQIA plus community. |
| 1:14.9 | And that isn't necessarily something that sits comfortably in the rap world, in the 90s |
| 1:23.2 | rap world, in New York, you know, so this, these songs are amazing, but they're really personal. |
| 1:30.2 | And I was instantly, I've, I then got to hear the whole album on preview. It's out now as you |
| 1:34.0 | hear it. It came out on December 5th. And I think it's such a great layered album with loads |
| 1:40.2 | of different styles and variations. Infinite is a rapper and a singer. |
| 1:46.6 | So I was really excited to talk to Infinite, |
| 1:47.9 | but obviously a bit nervous. |
| 1:50.6 | It's always nerve-wracking when it's someone you don't know. |
| 1:54.8 | I'm also mad aware that I'm a straight white guy from Essex. |
| 1:58.9 | Infinite is a black gay guy from New York. |
| 2:02.8 | Like, there's differences, you know, even though I feel, you know, |
| 2:09.7 | I've stepped in so many of these of these worlds and scenes. I mean, they're also part of a rap royal family, you know. So I was reasonably nervous, but then Infinite arrived and they were |
