For a long time, Infinite Coles didn’t feel seen. Growing up as the son of Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah came with expectations and a name that followed him everywhere. Now, Infinite moves differently. The artist, singer, and performer stands in his truth, creating a lane that reflects who he is without filters, hesitation, or attempting to fill his father's shoes. For the young creative, 2020 came with its challenges, pushing him to find his place and purpose. 

“I was in a shelter during 2020 for a year,” he said. “That was one of the hardest moments in my life. But that’s when everything started to shift. I had nothing but time to sit with myself. I started writing more, and I stopped caring about what people thought.”

That year forced him to find his power, his name (Coles raps under the moniker SweetFace Killah) and, most importantly, his voice. His upcoming album, also named “SweetFace Killah,” which he describes as personal and soulful, is scheduled for release on December 5.

“This project is everything I’ve been through and everything I’ve learned,” he said. “It’s about healing, it’s about love, and it’s about growing up. I want people to hear it and feel something real.” 

The album also reflects his growing confidence as both a writer and performer. 

“My writing got better, my voice got better, and I just became clear about what I wanted to say. I started speaking from my heart. I wasn’t trying to sound like nobody. I was just being me.”

While his music carries emotional weight, he created it with the intention of getting people out of their emotions and moving. 

“I want people to dance it away,” he said. “Even if it’s pain; I want you to move through it.”

Infinite’s singles "SweetFaceKillah" and “Dad & I” prompted public discussion about his relationship with his father. The internet was quick to say that he was taking shots at Ghostface —but they couldn’t have been more wrong.

“It’s no disrespect at all,” he said. “My dad told his story on ‘All That I Got Is You.’ I’m just telling mine. What’s the difference? If something happened to him, I’d be devastated. And I know if something happened to me, he’d be devastated too,” he said. “I just want respect. He doesn’t have to accept me, but he can love me as his son.”

Part of his personal growth as an artist has come from accepting his artist name, SweetFace Killah, which originally started as a derogatory label after a viral video. 

“I had did some singing Beyoncé video, and it went viral on Worldstar,” he said. “And instead of them paying attention to me singing, everybody would just, like, look how he's sitting. He's gay. This this ni–a's sweet face killer. They was calling me the name, and it was depressing for a while.”

He went on to explain that a close friend called him by that name without knowing about the viral incident, and at first he took offense to it, but after she explained that she meant that he looked tea, his perspective shifted. 

“I was like, girl, what you said? Like, you trying to play me?” And she was like, No, girl. Like, it’s giving sweet face killer. You look fab like that. I felt like, girl, you're right. Like, this is actually really fab. What a way to remake life.”

From there, his bond with his chosen family grew, and he leaned on their love and support, grateful for the strength they give him. He emphasized the importance of community and how finding his chosen family helped him step into the spotlight. 

“It’s so beautiful, and it’s so necessary that we call it our chosen family. In my community, we are disowned by a lot of our family. And, like, when we find each other, it just automatically becomes a family because we only understand each other's struggles,” he explained. “I’m just so grateful that that is a thing. And the advice is just always different because it’s coming from a place of experience.” 

He also credits his niece, Zenon, with giving him purpose. 

“That’s my daughter,” he smiled. “She showed me what unconditional love looks like. When she was born, I knew I had to go harder. Everything I do now is for her.”

When asked what he wants people to understand about the upcoming album “SweetFace Killah” beyond being Ghostface Killah’s son, Coles shares the heart of his journey:

“I want them to know that I can do this. I've been wanting this and praying for this for so long, and it’s so crazy how it all happened with a rap song. I just literally went from, like, 10k followers to almost 100k just in 3 weeks from this song,” he exclaimed with excitement. 

“And it just feels amazing because, like I said, these people came to my page to just be nosy and probably make fun of me. But instead, I get more positive messages every day about how I’m healing, how I’m breaking generational curses,” he added.

With a new sense of liberation, Infinite Coles is standing fully in his power and his artistic vision. With new music on the way and a sense of peace that took years to build, he’s stepping into his next era unapologetically. “I’m doing everything from a place of love,” he said. “I’m free now, and that’s what this music sounds like.”
