x Infinity, sometimes stylized as X Infinity, is the fourth studio album by American spoken word artist, rapper and author George Watsky, released on August 19, 2016. The album was recorded at Seahorse Studios in Los Angeles, Grand St. Recording in Brooklyn, and Aqua Vibea in Hadley, MA.[1]

The album, executive produced by Russell Simmons – who Watsky previously connected with as a guest on Season 6 of Simmons' HBO series Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry – was produced by Kush Mody and features additional production from Anderson .Paak and drumming by Josh Dun of Twenty One Pilots, among other collaborations.[2]

The lead single, Stick to Your Guns featuring Julia Nunes, was released on July 1, 2016 as a free download on Watsky's Bandcamp page.[3] A week later, the second single, Tiny Glowing Screens, Pt. 3, was released alongside the announcement of the album. An accompanying music video was released on YouTube.[4]

On August 18, 2016, the day before the album's scheduled release, lyric annotation site Genius premiered the song Don't Be Nice, along with the lyrics for the entire album. This is not the first time Watsky premiered music right before the album through Genius; a similar promotion was done for the release of Cardboard Castles and All You Can Do.[5]

Josh Dun of twenty one pilots accompanies Watsky on the drums in Track 13, Midnight Heart.
