This quote by Vivian Fernandes a.k.a Divine is a sharp contradiction to what Indian hip hop has been traditionally associated with.
There was a time not long ago that Indian hip hop conjured up an image of Honey Singh rapping about the ‘Blue Eyes’ or ‘Brown Rang’ of
ladies who appeared in his music videos alongside expensive cars.
However, the Indian audience has evolved and accepted a whole new definition of Indian hip hop with artists such as Divine and Naezy.

With the massive success of ‘Gully Boy’, Zoya Akhtar’s film based on Mumbai’s rap culture, the audience has had a glimpse of
what authentic and raw street rap looks like. It revolves around the struggles of rap artists who have risen from
Mumbai’s underground rap scene brimming with stories of poverty, economic disparities, violence, social and political issues.
