Devine Carama and 2 Mello “It Was Rewritten” A Living Tribute to NAS

Devine’s journey in the music industry has been marked by significant milestones. He stunned audiences at the state talent show, finishing second and fourth in consecutive years. Moreover, he etched his name in history by becoming the first hip-hop artist to perform at the historic Lyric Theatre in Lexington, KY, sharing the stage with the legendary Doug E. Fresh. His path to success wasn’t without challenges, especially in a small hip-hop market like Kentucky. However, Devine’s passion for his craft knew no bounds. Armed with only a portable CD player, he took to the streets, performing on corners and starting ciphers at local parties. His relentless dedication paid off, landing him headlining performances in venues that traditionally hosted genres other than hip-hop.

Devine’s impact expanded beyond his city as he collaborated with renowned artists like Canibus, CunningLynguists, Thee Tom Hardy, Nemo Achida, and Sheisty Khrist, among others. His music resonated with a wide audience, and he garnered a significant following on social media platforms, a testament to the connective power of his music. Now, Devine Carama is set to release his highly anticipated project, “It Was Rewritten: A Nas Tribute.” This concept mixtape pays homage to Nas, the artist who ignited Devine’s passion for hip-hop and served as his muse. The mixtape is a reworking of Nas’ classic sophomore album, “It Was Written.”

The mixtape features refreshing production by the talented Lexington-based producer, 2 Mello. Devine’s admiration for Nas shines through as he shares, “I just wanted to pay homage to Nas, who was the reason I first picked up a pen and began to write in the first place. I also feel ‘It Was Written’ was one of the most slept on albums ever in the critical sense, and I wanted to shed light on that particular record, hoping this generation would revisit more music from an era with musical diversity and lyrical dexterity.”
