Artists You Should Know: Devine Carama

Devine Carama



Devine Carama is an MC that has built his story from the unlikely home field of Kentucky, where I was also born and raised. Much in the spirit of the underground heroes like Cunninglynguists and the 502 Hedz, Devine keeps his eyes on the story of the struggle told through honest rhymes and a good mix of southern soul and sometimes mellow vibe. His music embodies the Golden Era of rap and the more introspective rhymes from Nas, mixed with the southern consciousness of early Outkast and Goodie Mob.

The video above, for his track "The Populist Pulpit" is from an older album, but it is a good introduction to the mind state and skills that you can hear on all of Carama's albums.

Check out his ode to the Nas classic "The Message", featured on Soundcloud and research his back catalog. Help support good music and good artists!

"Nas is my favorite MC & this is one of if not my favorite albums of all time. I just wanted to pay homage & hopefully shed light and inspire the younger generation to go back and study It Was Written." – Devine Carama
