"If you're a sub par rap crew, the worst thing you could do is challenge Infinity Gauntlet. The East Coast underground supergroup made up of El Gant, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Bekay, F.T. and Red Eye, all have their own distinct sound, but when they come together, they're a force to be reckoned with. Sharing the same name as the popular arcade game "Bases Loaded," El Gant unveils the latest visuals taken from his 'Beast Academy' LP, which showcases four minutes of heavy, abrasive rhymes and guitar dominating sounds, courtesy of JOAT (Jack of all Trades). Between shots of the emcees ripping the mic and getting ready to swing for the fences, we get to see them giving their expert opinions on a hilarious panel." - Diamond Media 360
This is a straight up Marco Polo-style banger featuring a tag-team performance by two MCs with a heap of street persona: F.T. and Bekay. "Can't Stop Us" is one of those addictive songs with many of the right ingredients including memorable punchlines and a good scratch chorus. This is first single off the long awaited T.G.I.F.T (The Appetizer) album which drops late April 2011. F.T.’s full length album “Never Gave Up” is slated for release in June 2011.

The Brooklyn duo of F.T. and Bekay represent the future of New York's underground independent scene by establishing a name for themselves through solo projects and working with a number of well-respected artists. The two stop by WNYU Radio to speak with DJ Eclipse about exciting new projects, both as a duo and separately, plus show their skills on the microphone.
Bekay has been consistent for the past few years, but I am especially happy to hear F.T. back on his grind after penning unforgettable classics such as "Metal Thangz". Stay tuned to Coalmine Records and cratesofjr to hear what this duo has to offer in the near future.
