Release history and significance
Mr. Porter recalled making the album with Eminem while Proof helped program the drums. They hoped to win airplay at home, but local radio gave them little support. His recollection is of young musicians making songs they believed might connect, without knowing how far their careers would eventually take them. [2]
Released by Web Entertainment with Jeff and Mark Bass as executive producers, Infinite contains eleven tracks. Guests include Eye-Kyu, Thyme and Angela Workman, while Proof and DJ Head appear on the “W.E.G.O.” interlude. Its local cast makes the album a record of Detroit musical friendships as well as a solo debut. [1]
