One of India’s biggest music acts, DIVINE has steadily gone on to become synonymous with hip-hop and rap music in India. Having already been credited as one that’s putting hip-hop from the Indian sub-continent on the map, he continues to chart his rise towards the upper echelon of the global music scene. And come earlier this week, he finally announced his next big project, the first-ever documentary on his life, ‘Gully Life: The Story of DIVINE‘.
The 50-minute long film takes an in-depth look at how a young rapper from Mumbai became one of the most sought-after musicians in India and a global superstar – in a matter of a few years. Produced by Red Bull Media House in association with Supari Studios, the film chronicles the ups and downs of one of India’s favourite musicians.
Over the course of the feature, viewers are introduced to some of the most important people in DIVINE’s life – from his mother, with whom he is especially close, to the friends he grew up with and who remain his closest aides – and taken on his remarkable journey, evolving from a teenager discovering hip-hop to the icon he is today. Talking about the upcoming documentary, DIVINE says:
“I’ve had an incredible and amazing journey so far, it almost feels like a dream. To be able to do what I love and for it to be appreciated by others, I feel blessed! Hip-hop really did save my life. Shooting this documentary was quite a journey – to go back tracing all the steps in my life was definitely a surreal experience. I’m grateful to Red Bull Media House and my team at Gully Gang Entertainment to help this bring to life”.
The film will be telecast on July 1 at 9 pm on Discovery Channel, Discovery HD World, TLC, TLC HD World, Discovery Science, Discovery Turbo, and Discovery Tamil. This will be followed by a digital release on Red Bull TV on July 15 and DIVINE’s YouTube channel on July 17.
