"Infinity (888)" is a song by the American rapper and singer XXXTentacion, featuring Joey Badass. Released on the album, ? on March 16, 2018 through Bad Vibes Forever, Caroline Distribution, and Capitol Music Group, the song was written by XXXTentacion, Joey Badass, Jimmy Rowles and P. Soul.

The track was produced by P. Soul and samples the 1977 jazz song "The Peacocks" by Jimmy Rowles and Stan Getz.[1] This song was ranked sixth on XXL’s “The 30 Best XXXTentacion Songs” list[2] and eighth on Billboard’s “10 Best XXXTentacion Songs.”[3]

Background

According to XXL, the track was X's "best attempt at peak East Coast hip-hop." Badass brings a jazzy style, and X introduces boom bap percussion.[4]

Billboard noted that although XXXTentacion and Joey Badass might seem like an unlikely pairing, the two artists brought out strong performances in each other. XXXTentacion emphasized his rap focused side over P. Soul's driving drums, and the collaboration was intended to be part of a larger joint project that was never completed before XXXTentacion's death.[5]
