To take part in the African revolution it is not to write a revolutionary song; you must fashion the revolution with the people. And if you fashion it with the people, the songs will come by themselves, and of themselves. ... In order to achieve real action, you must yourself be a living part of Africa and of her thought; you must be an element of that popular energy which is entirely called for the freeing, the progress, and the happiness of Africa. There is no place outside that fight for the artist or for the intellectual who is not himself concerned with and completely at one with the people in the great battle of Africa and of all suffering humanity.
Sekou Tour1
INFINITO 2017 of the unorthodox poets society
Born October 26, 1975 on the South Side of Chicagos Wild Hundred Area. A
Scorpio who is dedicated to Facts in his Hip Hop Music and Art.
The worlds first Regular Black Dude.
This is the situation its like the summer of 1989 in Dixmore a suburb of
Chicago, Illinois a 13 year old young man named Marcellous Lamont Lovelace had
been in the basement for weeks planning out the next creative venture in his
life, then all of a sudden it strikes him like a bolt of lightning Im going to
record music from this point on. With the assistance of his Hip Hop rhyming
older cousin he begins his mission. He went up stairs and said hey man I want to
record some music, he told his cousin that I need some beats so after gaining
the appreciation of his gifted older idol he ran back down to the basement and
told his younger cousin who would later become his partner. Within hours he
changed his name from Dariel Dashon Franklin to the MC Dariel D and Marcellous
would change himself into the M C ML (Master of ceremony Marcellous Lovelace)
with a group called L D P how simple just take the letters in your government
name and you have Lamont and Dariels Posse. After hours of planning they figured
it out we can take two boom box radios and put them together, one for the music
and another for the sound, but what about the microphone well we will try this
for now. Recording over a loop of the Big Pay Back by Mr. James Brown it went
down we write the hooks then freestyle the verse. Several hours later you have
what was to be the first album that began his love of recording -music. They did
that until the summer was over then again when they met up on holidays and long
school breaks.
It was all love until Marcellous mother surprised him with we moving to Fort
Knox, Kentucky, ending so soon its now 1990 and Marcellous has moved back and
forth from Kentucky to Illinois and back. What a life stressed out, introverted,
and shy out in the middle of know where Marcellous resorted to his love free
styling raps to the white kids in Kentucky and at home to his brother. Making
over ten freestyle tapes a week over other peoples beats. It was all for the
love until a few disagreements with his mother that caused another move to
Memphis, Tennessee to live with his grandmother in the summer of 92.
Now away from his cousins and brother Marcellous new word was alone. Being
introduced to down south gangster rap Marcellous was side tracked from gaining
any type of fame from music because he felt in his heart that all Hip Hop was
suppose to be original and have a positive message not about money just
creativity. So he just free styled to his self and did it for the love. Now its
1994 after graduating from high school in Memphis Marcellous moved back home to
Chicago again.
He began working and living in the city with his father. This situation probably
made Marcellous the strong man that he is today because living with the father
taught him about respect and how to love the family he did have. Then it
happened he went from let down to rejection yes tragedy Marcellous's partner in
rhyme Dariel D had passed away due to violence in the inner city. Never to
record again this group was now left as a tattooed memory on his arm. Saddened
and very disagreeable with his father Marcellous had to move back to Memphis to
start over again. Threw this he lost and gained romantic relationships and
collected allot of college bills. Nothing has seemed to work out right sense the
death of Dashon. In 1995 he got into that trap called credit and bought him some
turntables, some vinyl records, a mixer, speakers, and a tape deck. It has
finally happened Marcellous can record directly into a mix. Making recordings
daily he trained his vocal chords to have maximum breath control. Now he is
ready to take this act beyond the open mic and the cipher its time to make
albums, but before hand another tragedy one of his closet uncles passed away.
Stress was the year no out look with anything until the fall of 1996. Now its
time for the rebirth of the basement rhymes, vocalist, and style supplier.
After, entering his third year at school at Memphis college of Art Marcellous
ran into a few characters from around the country, that all respected his style
and his character. The show down that set off a lot of the material he's
recorded comes from this time period. Open microphone night a battle with the
out of Towners versus the local crews, beef and intensity was in the room every
week until, one week Marcellous ran into his future support system that we know
as only Wade locally known in Memphis as Mr. Skurge. This man prepped Marcellous
on how to record on tracks, mpc 2000, and more live shows.
Yes Wade knew it all and how to do it not only did he give Marcellous a new name
to add to his belt he gave him confidence to be original publicly and not just
make music for his own enjoyment, but for others. Infinito was the name he was
given meaning, this guy just cannot stop rhyming? But honestly Infinito means
Timeless, Infinite, and Boundless. The first sessions were sloppy and from those
came a freestyle album as usual. Then the 4 track mishaps, next the main piece
the Documentary. Wade and Marcellous did plenty of shows in Memphis with rock
bands and hip-hop groups under the name The Unorthodox Poets Society. This group
name came from a failed 97 attempt to get students at the University of Memphis
to form a hip-hop organization for the school. After all these let downs not
including record companies and print media Marcellous moved back to Chicago in
98 to become something for the city of his birth. Marcellous encountered much
rejection from all directions except for two crews the Molemen and the Nacrobats.
He later joined the Nacrobats during the finalizing of his seventh or eighth
album later moving once again to explore life in Atlanta, Georgia and back to
Chicago. Yes and from all this moving he has gained acceptance from a large
audience of followers world wide and picked up production from Molemen inspired
allot of people to take the do it your self-approach. Marcellous brings pure
original, underground hip-hop.
In 2003 Marcellous began working with the Molemen and you can witness this
progress at www.molemen.com www.dominationrec.com Marcellous Lamont Lovelace, a
proud Chicago South Side MC, is now known outside his locale as Infinito 2017.
Ever since his decision to make Hip Hop his creative venture in the summer of
1989 he has kept himself busy. With projects too numerous to list, Infinito has
kept true to his namesake. Add that to his talents as a painter and a political
activist, and you have the makings of an artist. Aside from his solo projects,
Infinito is also part of the Unorthodox Poets Society with Mr. Skurge. His
upcoming album will be collaboration with the Molemen, who were impressed by his
work ethic that eventually caught the attention of Fat Beats Records. As his
upcoming single states, " It's Not That Difficult," Infinito can do the
impossible.
In 2004 Marcellous linked forces with Thaione Davis to form I.T. INFINITO (2017)
and Thaione (Davis) a combination of production and instant lyrics from instant
thought process.
Look out for the many ventures to come in the near future always new and always
fresh Holla side wayyz Infinito is not in the building. The worlds first Regular
Back Dude. Infinito also has over 25 videos to go with over 35 albums or more
that he has created in his hip hop lifetime with his own label Nephew of Frank
Records (formulated for the love he has for his Family in Chicago, Arkansas,
Memphis Atlanta, Philly, Cali and all over Frank is short for Franklin his
immediate Families original last name and shortened form of one of his uncles (Dariel
ds father) name), by him-self and with the help of others. He needs no one to
make him work he is motivated from his own heart and love of being creative.
Also Infinito has his own label, which includes the many versions of himself
look for him on CD, Vinyl, Tape, Video and DVD and all multi media formats in
your lifetime. A 15 year and counting work of art in the making cant nobody
build Marcellous Infinito Lovelace because he is boundless. 2017 is just the
beginning.
