Ab-Soul Freestyles Over Eminem’s Classic Song “Infinite”

Ab-Soul has recently reaffirmed his status as one of hip-hop’s elite lyricists by tackling a cornerstone of rap history: Eminem’s “Infinite.” Stepping onto the smooth, melodic production that defined Slim Shady’s 1996 debut, the TDE wordsmith delivers a masterclass in flow and wordplay. This freestyle serves as a bridge between two generations of technical powerhouses, proving that even decades later, the “Infinite” instrumental remains a gold standard for rappers looking to showcase their pure lyrical ability.

Musically, Ab-Soul has been on a prolific run following the success of his deeply personal 2022 album, Herbert, and his 2024 project, Soul Burger. Entering 2026, he has maintained a steady presence through high-profile collaborations, recently appearing on Jill Scott’s album To Whom This May Concern on the track “Ode to Nikki.” He has also continued to release sharp singles like “CALL DAT” (featuring T.F.) and “LATENCY,” keeping fans fed with his signature blend of introspective philosophy and street-level grit.

The decision to freestyle over “Infinite” is a natural extension of Soul’s long-standing admiration for Eminem. He has frequently cited Marshall Mathers as a primary influence, even revealing in 2025 that an Eminem record was the very first CD he ever purchased. Throughout his career, Ab-Soul has consistently paid homage to Em, notably on the 2012 track “ILLuminate” where he famously rapped about wanting his name mentioned in the same breath as the Detroit legend: “You can take your top 5 list / Dead or alive and put me after Em / I’m a f–king genius.”

This latest freestyle highlights the mutual DNA of high-level lyricism that both artists share. Ab-Soul signals his respect for the technical craftsmanship that built the foundation of modern rap. You can bump the new freestyle below:
