Divine: Delhi is certainly one of my favorite cities to carry out reside!

Divine is wanting ahead to getting his followers within the Capital grooving, as he readies to take the stage on the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on February 11. HT Metropolis are print companions for the live performance. The rapper admits that he can not wait to take the stage: “Delhi has been one of my favourite cities to perform live. I get so much love there.” He guarantees that his “fans can definitely expect some new surprises during the show”.

The 32-year-old’s newest album, Gunehgar, like most of his different releases, addresses social points like starvation and poverty. With lyrics that always concentrate on urgent social points, the rapper’s music has had a profound affect on the youth.

“Something that’s really important for me is hunger, especially for kids and people who come from underprivileged backgrounds and don’t have families to take care of them, their food, education. That’s something that’s been close to me,” he says.

“I never expected my music to inspire so many people. There have been many instances where people have told me that my music helped them get through difficult times. A subject that’s important to me is hunger, which is prevalent among kids and people from underprivileged backgrounds,” he provides.

Regardless of the attention to create socially related lyrics, his artistic course of when writing and recording new music, Divine says, can differ.

“Sometimes the sample inspires me, sometimes the beat, sometimes the situation leads me to write something. I wouldn’t say that there is one particular process, it’s usually a mix and match. But something I definitely lead with is my instinct and gut feeling about things in music,” he says.

There was a protracted hole between Gunehgar and his albums earlier than that. Divine explains, “I took some time with this one because of the pandemic. Also, it took a while to hone the album creatively.”

In addition to love and applause, artistes are additionally subjected to adverse suggestions and criticism after they launch tasks. Ask how he handles that, and the rapper says, “Criticism and praise should be taken with a pinch of salt. You can’t get swayed in either direction. It’s part and parcel of when you’re putting out something to the world. Some accept it, some love it, some hate it, some are indifferent, so that’s part of the game.”
