I.F return with ‘Opening Ceremony (Feat. Verbal Jint, MC Meta, LOCO)’
“Yesterday’s memories meet today and sing of tomorrow.” BIZNIZ and nuck return as Infinite Flow (I.F) with a new digital single under BrandNew Music. ‘Opening Ceremony‘ features rappers Verbal Jint, MC Meta, and LOCO.
Starting out in 1999 as four university students making music together, Infinite Flow debuted in 2002 with two members: BIZNIZ (at the time under the moniker “Goliath Monster”) and nuck. The duo released two singles and two full-length albums, then disbanded in 2007, both rappers going their own way.
Three years ago, they reunited for the single ‘Been A Long Time’ which was released under BrandNew Music, BIZNIZ’s label. The song featured Junggigo, who first debuted on a song of I.F’s, and DJ Soulscape, the main producer of the duo’s first LP.
Today, I.F released a brand new single. With MC Meta and Verbal Jint, it features two artists that have worked with the duo since their beginning. Meanwhile, BrandNew Music revealed a making-of video, in which LOCO pronounces himself an I.F fan. Watch the video below (Korean subtitles only)!
I.F’s new single is available on iTunes/Apple Music.

“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note – it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”
-Miles Davis
“This quote reminds of our lives. Life is a continuation of choices and each depends on the choice before. I tried to express the various feelings and stories I’ve experienced in the city I live in, Seoul; loneliness, glory, love, and reconciliation.” -Django
Django pre-released this album’s title track ‘Play On Playa’ in 2016, which was his debut single. ‘Seoul Jazz‘ (February 2017) was the second pre-release.
For his first LP, the producer received support from his label mates and many other artists, including “cameos” by Just Music’s Han Yohan and indie producer Charming Lips. They both helped out with their guitar skills.
