THE LIFTED 50: Number 8 Divine
Divine’s style, swag, and business prowess lead by example for a new generation of Indian MCs
By DIVINE standards, this past year was kinda quiet, but he’s still the GOAT of Indian Hip Hop as far as we’re concerned. His album Street Dreams with Punjabi singer-rapper Karan Aujla was groundbreaking, and the single ‘100 Million’ has that many streams and views between Spotify and YouTube. Then his Gullyfest broke records as India’s first Hip Hop festival, with performances from DIVINE, Pusha T, Prabh Deep, Gully Gang All-Stars, Sambata, Reble, and many others. His single ‘Triple OG’ on a hard Phonom beat proved that he’s still at the top of the game, lyrically and sonically.
Divine’s style, swag, and business prowess lead by example for a new generation of Indian MCs looking to rise up in the white-hot Indian Rap game.
