Emmy-nominated Hip-Hop luminary Devine Carama has earned his stripes both inside and outside the recording booth. Whether he’s going viral for teaching emotional intelligence to young boys, rapping outside in the cold for 48 hours straight to raise awareness and coats for children in need, or making monumental strides towards gun violence prevention in his native Lexington, Kentucky community, Devine makes it his life mission to pay it forward. Add 15 full-length albums spanning a 20 year-long Rap career, and it’s clear that Devine has done more than enough to prove himself as one of Rap’s unsung heroes.
“Respect Due”– a record that finds Devine ruminating alongside Hip-Hop legend Sadat X on ideas of aging gracefully, earning respect through longevity, and helping the next generation –is befitting. Released today (5/16/2025) on all major digital streaming platforms via Soulspazm, the song serves as the second single from Devine’s forthcoming collaborative album with producer Amadeus360, Guardians of the Boom Bap.
Guardians of the Boom Bap is due out on June 13 and will serve as the full-length follow-up to the fourth installment from Devine’s critically acclaimed Kingtucky series, as well as Amadeus360’s 2023 magnum opus The MPC Jedi. Pre-order/save Guardians of the Boom Bap here.
