Infinite is the debut studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was released through Web Entertainment on November 12, 1996. Recording sessions took place at the Bass Brothers' studio, with production on the album handled by Denaun Porter and Eminem himself. The album features guest vocals from fellow Detroit-native rappers Proof, Denaun Porter, Eye-Kyu, Moe Men-E, Three, and Thyme; as well as its vocal contributions from a singer Angela Workman.
The physical copies of Infinite were released on cassette and vinyl, and Eminem sold the copies from the trunk of his car in Detroit. It is not officially available on any online music stores and only the title track, "Infinite", has been made available on Spotify. On November 17, 2016, five days after the 20th anniversary of the album, the official Eminem YouTube channel posted a remix of its title track, made by the Bass Brothers, releasing it digitally for the first time. Retrospectively, the album has received mixed reviews from music critics. It was a commercial failure, selling around 1,000 copies. Since the album was made before Eminem garnered mainstream attention and signed to Interscope Records, physical copies have appreciated in value.
