Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the fabulous musician and icon INFINITE COLES!

For those unfamiliar, yes Infinite Coles is the son of Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang - just to address that particular genetic detail! Though Infinite is in no way staying in what we now know as the familiar Wu lane, or using the name to get over. Far from it. Infinite is proudly out there as a queer artist as they bloody well should be, and dropping fierce dancefloor boulders so far from those discordant RZA Stax soul loops of the 90's. Kicking things off in this chat with a hint of self-proclaimed nerves, these soon melt as the two go in on all kinds of conversational gold, including said Wu connections of course, London as 2nd home, stylist and model friend groups, finding their voice and going in on it, mutual pal Uglyworldwide, mutual pal Richard Russell (XL Recordings), the fusion of ballroom / vogueing / house music, covid era shelter experiences, RZA coming through when others didn't, reclaiming slurs, alternative perspectives of family songs of the past, the process of penning a song about a parent in a very tough moment, and ohhh so much more. It's definitely a situation where you're better off just diving in on this episode. You'll get it. A lovely, uplifting and inspiring conversation from a voice of which we will hopefully hear more.
