“For Coles, eschewing conformity and simply being who he is has been the most influential force in his career—even more so than the fact that his dad is one of the greatest rappers of all time.” Nylon
“The unifying force between R&B and ballroom culture” NME
(5th November, 2025) The acclaimed NYC-born and raised artist, performer, dancer and model Infinite Coles serves up his killer 4th single ‘DMs’ today, ahead of his much-anticipated debut album ‘SweetFace Killah’ to be released on 5th December on Don’t Sleep/PIAS.
The ice cold new track ‘DMs’ is an explosive, high energy, stomping afro-house cut that tells the haters in his DMs to shut the hell up. It is a life affirming ‘f*ck you’ to all the haters, fizzing with Infinite’s unapologetic queer joy and swag, with lyrics “Why you in my DMs tryna kill my flow… N*ggas be mad when I feel my oats. Telling me I shouldn’t be in these clothes. Mad cause I look better than your hoes…I’m Infinite so Imma do what I want. I’ll go from zero to a hundred degrees. You know what they say. If I ain’t send for you don’t come for me. I’m only human. Stop throwing shade cause Imma pay it in dust”.
The diabolical video for ‘DMs’ has been directed by Infinite’s best friend and key collaborator Jazelle, aka model and artist Ugly Worldwide. The video takes storytelling and vogue-ballroom culture to a whole new level, as we see Infinite lounging with a blunt, before he is surrounded by black clad dancers, DMing him and voguing. As the lyrics “I’m only human” drop, he transforms from a man into a powerful, fierce laser-eyed being. We see him unapologetically defiant, loud and flamboyant, dressed for war, with fast paced cuts back to him screaming into the phone “I’m Infinite so Imma do what I want!”.
Infinite Coles is becoming one of New York’s most mesmerising modern music expressionists and debut album ‘SweetFace Killah’ is a collection of 12 tracks that showcase Infinite’s innate vocal gifts, and fearless approach to lyricism and songwriting – despite his turbulent path, traversing personal battles and vulnerabilities growing up as a queer African American and a member of a rap dynasty. Infinite is authentically expressing himself fearlessly and joyously, free from fear of judgement, teaming up with the finest producer Zach Witness (Doechii, Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu) to deliver a feast of sonic experimentations, while channelling his deep connection to the vibrant Vogue-Ballroom culture and identity.
‘DMs’ follows up the incredible double single ‘SweetFaceKillah’/ ‘Dad & I’ released in September, the deeply personal third offering with both tracks fearlessly exploring joy, pain, love, anger and resilience, expressing each side of Infinite’s 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.
The incendiary ‘SweetFaceKillah’ went viral, blowing up across Infinite’s social media, with stars like 50 Cent, Diplo, Joe Rogan, A$AP Ferg, SWV and Hayley Williams of Paramore weighing in with high praise on socials. The track also started an open verse challenge via socials with huge fan engagement, and international media coverage across Vibe, Complex, Notion, Daily Mail Online and much more. The track reclaimed the mean label given to Infinite by online trolls, reframing the ‘Batty Boy’ homophobic slur for the catchy intro hook, to deliver a bouncy R&B house banger that drips with unapologetic queer joy and defiance. Meanwhile ‘Dad & I’ was a homage to the 90s Hip Hop Soul tradition that Mary J Blige pioneered, from the vibes of the production, to Infinite’s rough-hewn, emotionally raw vocals and lyrics that were a sonic letter to his Dad.
Infinite Coles said “DMs is me telling all the haters in my actual DMs to SHUT UP!!! People think they can hurt me with words when they’re not even close. I get at least 5 negative messages a day with people saying kill yourself, or that my dad doesn’t love me etc, so I turned how I felt into this song and I’m so happy with how it turned out.”
Zach Witness said “The forthcoming album is the resounding trumpet that will blow down the stale homophobic walls of Wu. A queer son born to one of Hip Hop’s most anti-faggot fathers naturally has something to say and he’s saying it. Skirt and all. What an honour to help bring this to the world. Infinite Coles ain’t nothing to f*ck with!”
The debut album 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 ‘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 Infinite has come, to powerfully emotive piano ballads like ‘Body Strong’.
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. 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.
