History:
Infinite Potential better known as IP has made quite a name for himself
in Alberta’s hip-hop scene. As a part of two legendary hip-hop crews

Introduced to hip-hop in the early 90’s by a classmate who
moved from Jamaica to Canada, IP fell in love with the culture of
breakdancers, beatboxers, turntablists, emcees and graf writers.
Starting off with intricate freestyles, IP later grew as an artist
honing his skills in MC battles, entertaining crowds at house parties
and performing and recording with recognized Canadian hip-hop MCs like
Prevail, Moka Only, and Emotionz.
IP is also a great sample based producer who prides himself on
creating heavy soundscapes that make your head nod. With over 10 years
experience IP gurantees something dope behind the boards for his own
songs or other artists he works with. He currently uses an ASR-10 and
owes a lot of his inspiration to other great producers like: DJ
Premier, Pete Rock, Diamond D, The Alchemist, J-Dilla, Nottz, Moka
Only, Madlib & The Beatnuts.
IP has toured coast to coast in Canada as both a headliner
with his group’s Everybody Soul & NWNB and as an opener for such
hip-hop greats like Slum Village, Souls of Mischief, and Swollen
Members. In addition to this IP has been featured on V …
