Infinite unveiled early plans for a second solo LP today. This one to be recorded under the alter ego "Mekkan Refugee". Infinite had this to say about the Sophmore LP...
"I put all of myself conceptually, lyrically into my first solo project "Meditations". That album took around 10 years to complete. It was like a journal of my life in my 20's. But I'm 30 years old now, and it's time for something fresh and new. That's where my alter ego the Mekkan Refugee comes in. This album is his album. He's the brains behind this album conceptually, and it's because of him that this album will be completed."
So who exactly is the Mekkan Refugee...
"Mekkan Refugee was a character actually developed in street performing. Where I would try to kick freestyles on street corners for change. You got to freestyle for hours and hours on end without running out of shit to say. So I started creating stories to tell about myself. What I came to realize was that I was that I hated the Midwest and that I loved everything outside the Midwest. Mekkan Refugee is basically a character who's under the possession of a jin, and been forced to carry out his existence in the Midwest, the Bible Belt. So he spends all his time bouncing between two extremes, either nostalgia and glorification of his existence outside the Midwest, or bitter about his entrapment within the Midwest. It makes for some compelling story-lines and it serves as the muse for this album".
Infinite's "Meditations" album is still yet to enter post-production, and no release date has yet been given for the Sophmore LP. Only a tentative title has been submitted, Abdul-Infinite presents... The Mekkan Refugee.
