The lines, the music, the flava, the vibe is LIT as hell! Mad props to our favourites DIVINE and RAJA KUMARI for coming with a track that is moving the whole nation! Seeing them together in the video, all we could imagine was a TEE J × HECTIK kinda combination!”

On the other hand, Raja Kumari and Divine recently celebrated the success of “City Slums” with a gig at Summer House in Mumbai. Talking about the track Raja Kumari stated, “DIVINE is extremely talented and I knew if I was collaborating with anyone it had to be him. City Slums is a story about the people of Mumbai. I am so inspired to be in the motherland and understand where I came from. It is such a blessing to collaborate with a REAL artist. The song and the lyrics are my take away of watching them, real people with real stories. I am the American Dream, phir bhi dil mein Hindustani.”
