Both of them were first noticed thanks to cheap cell phone and tablet made videos posted on youtube, followed by profiles by youtube news sources, a growing youth following, and finally the mainstream finding them. Like Neazy, he went to college, one of the small decent but not famous schools (Neazy went to Khalsa college, Akshay Kumar went there too!). Divine grew up in Andheri, another lower income working far out neighborhood of Bombay. He worked with Divine on making the original “Mere Gully Mein” song that brought Bombay hip-hop to mainstream notice. He found hip-hop at 13 from American musicians, and then at 22 made his break out youtube video “Aafat” and become an icon for young Indians who started dreaming of becoming rappers themselves. Naezy grew up in Kurla, a far out Bombay suburb with a car factory, a dairy, and a bus depot. Naezy and Divine were the first Bombay rappers to really break through to the mainstream.
