Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals

Baltimore-based experimentalists Infinity Knives (Tariq Ravelomanana) and Brian Ennals create hip-hop that balances raw intensity with intricate orchestration. Producer Infinity Knives frequently incorporates his love for contemporary classical composers like Max Richter and Jóhann Jóhannsson into hard-hitting, inventive beats. On the mic, Brian Ennals delivers sharp, poetic lyrics driving through philosophy, dark humor, and social critique.

Since partnering in 2020 for the album Rhino XXL, the duo has built a global fanbase largely through word of mouth. Their 2022 follow-up, King Cobra, was named among the albums of the year by Loud and Quiet and Spin, earning them an invitation to open Kneecap’s US tour. Their latest album, A City Drowned in God’s Black Tears (April 2025), further solidified their reputation, receiving widespread critical acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone, The Needle Drop, and The Quietus.
