Exploring family ties: Infinite Coles drops new tracks
Infinite Coles, known not just as Ghostface Killah's son but as an artist in his own right, takes us on an emotional journey with his latest songs that delve deep, exploring his personal struggles and his uneasy relationship with his famous father.
Fans have been buzzing about Infinite Coles' new releases, "SweetFaceKillah" and "Dad & I." These tracks invite listeners behind closed doors, giving a raw and honest look at his tumultuous dynamic with Ghostface Killah. While some might see them as diss tracks, that's not where Coles' heart lies. He's not out here trying just trying point fingers at his dad.
A closer look at "SweetFaceKillah"
"SweetFaceKillah" kicks off with some striking lines aimed straight at his father, posing tough questions about priorities: "You've got problems, and I'm ready tackle 'em / How's your body count high, but your pockets are leaking? / Driving a Mack truck but forgetting your kids / I see haters, but I choose not acknowledge."
He also reflects on how his dad views him: "Is it me? Am I not what you wanted? / Are my pants not low like your confidence? / Do I need a girl by my side before you see me? / Wishing I could count on you like I do on my EBT."
The chorus lightens things up with a playful vibe: "B***y boy Sweetface killah' / Nasty on this track, watch me go gorilla." Infinite Coles decided on "SweetFaceKillah" as his debut album's title, hitting shelves in December. During an interview, Coles shared how reclaiming that once-derogatory nickname empowered him.
"Back then, people would DM me, calling me all sorts, including ‘SweetFaceKillah'… At first, it hurt, but eventually, I saw it fit perfectly. Now, it headlines my album," he explained.
Navigating family challenges in "Dad & I"
In "Dad & I," Coles takes a more straightforward route, shining a light on their rocky relationship and societal pressures: "You never talk, telling me I'm off track / Telling me 'man up' / But when I wear makeup, it becomes a problem / Asked me change, but never offered help / Nobody's perfect, no / Can't you see I'm trying?"
The track's chorus captures Coles' longing: "Dad and I don't see eye-to-eye (I love you, but you carry too much)."
A call from Infinite: Let's talk and reconnect
Coles opened up in a music magazine interview, voicing his hope these tracks might spark a little more empathy from his dad. "It's all rooted in love and positive vibes. I don't carry hatred," he said. "I love him, and I just want us connect. It feels like ages since our last meeting. Sometimes, I sit and wonder if he's doing alright or if we'll ever hash things out. This song holds my last bit hope that he'll reach out."
Back in 2023, Coles posted an open letter on social media, speaking candidly about his father's absence: "For years, I let you make me hate myself, until I realized I was never broken, but you were," he shared. It's not just him facing this absence—Ghostface Killah's been missing in action from all his children's lives.
Finding his voice: Infinite Coles' journey
Despite these hurdles, Infinite Coles isn't backing down. He's carving a unique path in music, leveraging his art as a vessel truth and connection. Now streaming, both "SweetFaceKillah" and "Dad & I" are raw, authentic invitations listeners who appreciate a deeply personal story.
