Infinite is the debut studio album by the American rapper Eminem. It was released on November 12, 1996, through Web Entertainment. Recording sessions took place at the Bass Brothers' studio, with production handled by Denaun Porter and Eminem himself.[2] The album features guest vocals from fellow Detroit rappers Proof, Denaun Porter, Eye-Kyu, Moe Men-E, Three and Thyme, as well as singer Angela Workman.

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.[3] 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,[4] 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.
