Multilingual rapper Brodha V releases brand new single and announces partnership with Believe
Vighnesh Shivanand known popularly by his stage name Brodha V has dropped his new single ‘All Divine’ to Kickstart 2022. The rapper/musician also announced his association with Believe Artist Services.

The bop was written during the second lockdown as an introspection into how far he’s come in the industry and his undying passion for making music. Having battled COVID all the while nursing a physical injury, the rapper completed the composition of the song as a means to express himself and what he’s been through and how one can overcome their demons in a graceful and dignified way. What makes the song even more special is its melodious Malayalam chorus which is a first for the hitmaker.
Originally anticipated to release during Diwali 2021, the rapper/musician injured himself leading to the release being rescheduled for a later time. ‘All Divine’ just as its name suggests is a beautiful fusion of classical beats with Brodha V’s eminemesque rapping style. The track is an unfolding of what his journey in the industry has been like for the last decade and how he’s stuck to his guns and not given up on his dream of becoming one of the best rappers in the country.
The song is also a subtle nod to prioritizing one’s mental health and asking yourself questions that you wouldn’t otherwise and being your own number one fan. Shot in
