Tracks in ALL CAPS usually evoke an urgent, attention-grabbing need to put forward a specific message. This is exactly the case with INFAMOUSIZAK (his name also demanding the all caps treatment). The songs across his latest EP "FRACTURE" rapidly reach their crescendo and bring about an injection of adrenaline in the listener as the artist's unique self-produced sound crashes over the radiowaves.
The vibe is inevitably contagious. For those unfamiliar with his infamy, the sounds he carries over the EP's four tracks are jarring at first, becoming more cohesive as the shock wears off. Cinematic, head-bopping, dub-stepping, Caribbean vibes fused with future trap, layered soundscapes and melodic rapping. It shouldn't make sense, but "FRACTURE" is proof that new ground is still possible to break in Hip Hop and beyond.
Building on the success of his standout track "PUBLIC ENEMY" (and its recent remix featuring Kwesi Arthur), the original which has now accumulated over a million streams on Spotify and star appearances on Poté's 2021 project "A Tenuous Tale Of Her" and fellow South-Londoner Santino Le Saint's EP "Blue Pill", IZAK has boundless versatility when it comes to his solo and collaborative endeavours.
There's a reason he was featured in the inaugural Cloud X Festival earlier this year showcasing the most cutting edge and innovative artists in the realms of Neo Soul, Alternative R&B and melodic rap. The INFAMOUSIZAK sound is unique to him and guaranteed to appeal to a wide audience.
Even though only comprised of 4 tracks, "FRACTURE" shows IZAK's ability to build a slick project following his 2019 release "DEEP THE NIGHT" and looks towards a new future where fans can expect a larger body of work.
INFAMOUSIZAK commented recently: “I wrote the FRACTURE EP as a representation of the modern love story, Fracture refers to the complications of young love in a time where status, money & lust are king, each song is a depiction into the challenges faced during this journey”.
2022 is sure to be his biggest year yet but before the year is out, we will witness his debut headline show at The Social on December 14th. Follow INFAMOUSIZAK here.
