Divine once again demonstrated why he is considered the undisputed king of Indian hip hop with a performance at Rolling Loud India that left fans in awe. Taking the stage with a full band, the Gully Gang leader delivered an explosive set, blending raw energy with carefully crafted precision. He brought out close collaborators Riar Saab, MC Altaf, and Sambata, transforming the stage into a family affair while giving nods to fellow artists like Seedhe Maut and Hanumankind. By the end of the show, any remaining doubts about Divine’s stature in the music world were extinguished; it was abundantly clear why he is often referred to as the Triple OG.
During the set, Divine previewed several tracks from his then-unreleased album Walking on Water, teasing fans with what would soon become a landmark release in Indian hip hop. Now officially out on all streaming platforms, Walking on Water sees Divine fully locked in, pushing his artistry to new heights while maintaining the grit and authenticity that earned him his devoted fan base.
The album opens with “Dr. Divine” and “Jungle Juice,” two tracks that set an intense, reflective tone. While “Dr. Divine” offers listeners a glimpse into his personal journey and mindset, “Jungle Juice” takes a Bollywood sample and transforms it into a brooding, slow-burning banger that showcases Divine’s experimental edge. Collaborations feature prominently throughout the project: MC Altaf and Sambata join him on the posse cut “ABCD,” while Hanumankind brings party-ready vibes to “Tequila Tales,” evoking the playful energy of mid-2000s Neptunes productions.
In addition, previously released singles such as “Rain,” “You & I,” and “Triple OG” blend seamlessly into the album, balancing introspection with assertive bravado. After the global ambitions explored in 2022’s Gunehgar, Divine has returned his focus to the Indian subcontinent, proving that he continues to operate on an entirely different level from his peers. With Walking on Water, Divine solidifies his position not just as a pioneer of Indian hip hop, but as an artist capable of transcending borders and redefining the genre itself.
Fans streaming the album will immediately recognise that Divine is still very much “Walking on Water” — a force of nature who commands attention, respect, and admiration with every verse, every beat, and every performance.
