The rapper and hip hop producer known
as the Infinite MC has released his latest official video, “Never
Hurt Me Soul.” The track has been proudly published on the Infinite
Records independent music label without the direction of the
corporate music industry. It is the title track of his latest EP
album, “Never Hurt Me Soul One Man Revolution.” An animated
representation of the themes and struggles featured in his music,
“Never Hurt Me Soul” by the Infinite MC is proof that this
Egyptian-American rapper is more than just an entertainer. He's a
revolutionary.
Separating the Infinite MC from the
largest portion of rap musicians is his lyric content. Lines written
and performed by Infinite are as notable for what he puts in as they
are for what he keeps out.
“When I was seven years old I heard
Will Smith,” writes the Infinite MC. “Realizing that rap could be
positive without explicit content or demoralizing lyrics, I decided
to become a rapper myself. I had a natural talent for free styling.
Singing was my original passion, but the rhyme patterns of hip hop
fascinated me. I noticed the potential for verbose lyrics with deep
meaning.”
Profundity is at the heart of
everything the Infinite MC releases, and his new “Never Hurt Me
Soul” video is the latest example of this.
“The song was inspired by the first
year of the Egyptian Revolution I experienced in Alexandria, Egypt,”
he writes. “I started writing the song on the one-year anniversary
of the start of the revolution. The cartoon I made is a metaphor for
all the assassins revolutionists have faced throughout history.”
Starring in the animated hip hop video,
naturally, is Infinite, himself.
“The main character was how I
imagined a visual representation of the Infinite MC would look like.
Named Neōterikós, I battle assassins that would stop a world
revolution. The name is the Greek origin for neo and neoteric,
the word I use for my genre of music.”
Loyal fans of the Infinite MC will not
be surprised to learn that anti-war sentiments are the reason for
“Never Hurt Me Soul” both lyrically and visually. As the artist
puts it himself:
“The point of the video is that peace
is the real goal of revolution.”
“Never Hurt Me Soul” by the
Infinite MC is available for viewing online worldwide now (link
