On Infinity Smif-N-Wessun cement their legacy as Hip-Hop Hall of Famers, proving they’re still performing at the highest level. Delivering profound bars over 9th Wonder and the Soul Council’s production, this collaboration is a masterclass crafted for purists.

The opening track, “Infinity,” samples a KRS-One line: “We will be here forever,” encapsulating their history and enduring presence in the game. “Moses Promise” features Steele and Tek trading verses, spitting wisdom over a soulful beat. Meanwhile, “Namaste” finds them reflecting on the pursuit of love and a brighter future. The bouncy “Medina,” backed by a children’s chorus, sees Pharoahe Monch delivering a razor-sharp verse, detailing warfare tactics with precision.

“Black Eminence,” featuring the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep, pairs earnest verses with an R&B-inspired groove. “Chuuch,” featuring Jalisa, is a conscious and thought-provoking anthem, offering reflection and inspiration for overcoming unjust conditions.

The 9th Wonder-produced “Enjoy Ya Life” combines energetic drums and a spirited chant, creating a sonically uplifting vibe. “Shine,” featuring Ralph Tresvant, showcases the duo trading bars over Tresvant’s harmonic melodies. The Jodeci-inspired “Just Stay,” featuring Conway the Machine, finds the trio delivering raw, heartfelt lyrics over a smooth, soulful backdrop. Another standout, “Heard About Me,” features the late Sean Price and Maverick Sabre, adding depth and intensity to the album.

Infinity is a stellar contribution to the hip-hop ethos, with elite production from 9th Wonder and the Soul Council, paired with sharp, insightful lyrics from Steele, Tek, and their guests. The album is cohesive, blending soulful grit with contemporary relevance, taking listeners back to the essence of hip-hop while remaining fresh and forward-thinking.
