  • Divine (full name Divine Allah, born Victor Damon Lombard, May 23 in Newport, Rhode Island), is an up-and-coming African-American Hip-Hop emcee/rapper (urban poet) hailing from and representing Brooklyn, New York City and Fort Greene, Brooklyn (coincidentally, Fort Greene is named after American Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island). He is often compared to, reputed and regarded as the real/official second coming of Rakim, one of the most influential emcees/rappers in Hip-Hop history, much in the same way Nas has; but also being compared to Nas as well. Ironically, Divine exudes similarities to both Rakim and Nas in his music, as well as his voice. Divine's voice ranges from the deep nasal baritone of Rakim to the soft spokeness of Nas; however consistently leaning more toward the sound and feel of Rakim. Also, much like Rakim Divine has a revolutionary emceeing/rapping style; which is smooth and fluid, seemingly effortless, and uses remarkably complex rhyming schemes, involving internal-rhymes and sophisticated metaphors and punch-lines, while wittingly altering pronunciation of and uniquely merging common to uncommon words, and showcasing an advanced and extensive vocabulary; all while also having double, and sometimes even triple meanings simultaneously, much in the same way Rakim has, did, and does; yet keeping and maintaining his own uniqueness and originality. However, it remains the general consensus that almost all modern MCs have been influenced in some way by Rakim's rapping technique.
