Press:

“INF! is able to successfully deliver that signature northern sound that is hometown is famous for all throughout Animal Control. As mentioned before, this album is for fans of “true hip-hop and R&B fans”, and it’s easy to see why all throughout the album. INF! has a cadenced and mature flow that is obviously influenced by his northern roots, and he utilizes it nicely with meaningful lyrics and great wordplay. Animal Control features guest appearances from High Caliber Music label mates: The HCM Gang, rap legend DV Alias Khryst, Emilio Rojas, Emanny, and GED, and they help in guiding the album smoothly along. INF! definitely doesn’t disappoint from a technical standpoint.”
Darian O'Neil - ALBUM REVIEW: INF! – Animal Control

"New York’s Hip Hop scene is more than what happens in the five boroughs and Long Island. As you read this, emcees in Albany, Buffalo, Yonkers and all around The Empire State are honing their skills and a variety of elements, including emceeing. One such place is Rochester. Made famous by Kodak, the city has fallen on hard times since the picture company’s decline. So through the concrete of The Roc, Hip Hop has grown like a rose. One such example is an emcee by the name of INF!. Formerly INF! Da Beast, he now goes by just INF!, but he’s still beasting on every beat he gets his hands on. He also reps the collective known as High Caliber Music, with him and general JD Riggz, showing that their city is more than the dopeness that is Emilio Rojas."

“Q: "what or who made you want to be an emcee? A: A lot of people had a part of me wanting to be an emcee, both Major, and in my personal life. I was always intrigued by LL Cool J's voice and passion when I first heard Mama Said Knock You out, then Hearing 2Pac's I get around, the Biggies, Outkast, so on and so forth And as far as personally, the 3 people who INFluenced me to actually do this, is JD Riggz back in 96/97, My cousin Tynitty, and My Brother Nuke”
