ALBUM DROP WORLDWIDE!!!”It’s an honour to be associated with a legend like Nas. I grew up listening to his music. For him to recognise not just me, but the whole Indian hip-hop scene is a big win for hip-hop, and for hip-hop in India,” DIVINE says of signing with Nas’ Mass Appeal. “He is looking forward to working not just with me, but a lot of the young talent in India. I will be working with Mass Appeal India not just in a personal capacity, but also in my capacity as founder of Gully Gang Entertainment to help Mass Appeal India build a thriving ecosystem for urban music and culture in the sub-continent. So, let’s bring our A-Game because the world is watching,” – DIVINE @universalmusicgroup @nas @massappeal @massappealindia @universalmusicindia @gullygangindia @bittenbender @devsanyal

Nas also collaborated with DIVINE and another Indian rapper Naezy earlier this year on the song called ‘NY se Mumbai‘ which was a promo song for the Hip-Hop Indian film Gully Boy. Along with their new deal, Nas and DIVINE also sat down for a little interview. Watch it below.
