Mumbai’s rap royalty Divine has announced the release of his new single from his upcoming studio album ‘Gunehgar’.
Titled ‘Akela’, the single is slated to be released on 28th October via Gully Gang and Mass Appeal. Produced by Pinaki Rattan, professionally known as Phenom, this will be Divine’s second lead single after ‘Gunehgar’.
‘Gunehgar’ was released on 16th September this year and served as the first lead single to Divine’s highly anticipated third studio album. The hard-hitting single was produced by Hit-Boy and the stunning visuals were directed by Joel D’souza, better known as JD.
Earlier this week, Divine had announced an exclusive album launch party on 13th November, 2022 in Mumbai. As per many, ‘Gunehgar’ might be India’s biggest release in hip-hop this year.
His discography includes his debut studio album ‘Kohinoor’ with guest appearances by Nas, Dave East, Sid Sriram, D’evil, Shah Rule and more. Divine’s second studio album ‘Punya Paap’, released on 3rd December, 2020, had guest appearances from UK’s iconic drill emcee Dutchavelli, Stylo G and his long time collaborator MC Altaf.
Besides his own projects, Divine dropped a fiery verse on ‘Moosedrilla’ – the sixth heavy drill track on the late Sidhu Moosewaala’s second studio album ‘Moosetape’. The star-studded album had guest appearances from UK’s Tion Wayne, Stefflon Don, Toronto’s Blackboi Twitch, Sikander Kahlon, Raja Kumari and Bohemia among others.
