Now, Divine has been featured on the Spotify Times Square Billboard for the album.
"Releasing an album is always an important milestone for any artists. I&39;m grateful to my fans above all who&39;ve waited patiently since my previous album &39;Mirchi&39; secured a spot on the YouTube Top 100 Global Songs recently, a first for me with regards to a global charting," said Divine.
"And now that we&39;ve made it to the iconic Times Square. This is a sign that the story of hip-hop in India is no longer confined to a nascent perspective, but it&39;s burgeoning and we are headed for exciting times. Life is good and I&39;m grateful," he added.
