Marcellous Lovelace (born October 26, 1975), better known by the stage name Infinito 2017, is an American hip hop musician.[1] Alongside Thalone Davis and Cosmo Galactus, Infinito 2017 is a member of the Unorthodox Poets Society.
Lovelace was born in Chicago, Illinois, to two parents employed by the United States military. As such, he traveled regularly as a child. He began creating music at age 13 with his cousin Dariel.[1] He moved to Kentucky with his mother in the early 1990s.[1] After Dariel died in 1994, Lovelace found comfort in hip hop music. Shortly thereafter he moved to Tennessee and began recording.[1]
Lovelace graduated from the University of Memphis, receiving a bachelor's degree in Art and Communications, and later earning a Masters of Fine Arts.[2][dead link]
Career
While in college, Lovelace started performing on a regular basis at Fantasia hip-hop open mic nights. At this club he met Mr. Skurge, with whom he teamed up to form the Unorthodox Poets Society.[1][3] Following Skruge's advice, Lovelace adopted Infinito as a stage name. By 1998, he moved back to Chicago and joined up with crews the Molemen and the Nacrobats.[1] In 2002, Infinito 2017 was involved with Music with Sound Right Reasoning, released on Birthwrite Records and produced by Memo of the Molemen.[1] He went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago.[4]
