Divine is dropping his fifth studio album, titled Walking On Water. The Mumbai rapper calls the project a statement about his growth and control in the game. He says it reflects on his journey and roots, meant for his core audience and the culture at large. The sixteen-track release comes out on his own Gully Gang label.
The album features several collaborators, including Hanumankind and Gurinder Gill. Producers like Stunnah Beatz worked on it, and it samples classic Bollywood tunes from A.R. Rahman and R.D. Burman. The sound moves between trap beats, Afro-pop, and the raw energy of gully rap cyphers. Divine is widely seen as a pioneer who brought Indian hip-hop into the mainstream, often rhyming about his life in Mumbai's chawls.
He first gained major attention with the track Mere Gully Mein back in 2015. His career milestones include being the first Indian rapper on a Spotify billboard in Times Square. He also attended the Grammy Awards as the first Indian hip-hop artist to do so. His previous album, Gunehgar, came out in 2022, followed by a joint project with singer Karan Aujla.
