Devine Carama channels Huge L by paying homage to the native arts scene within the new “MVP (Most Worthwhile Poet)” music video from his new collaborative album with Amadeus360, ‘Guardians of the Increase Bap’.
“The very first thing that got here to thoughts once I heard Devine spit was that he sounds similar to Huge L,” says Amadeus360. “This beat needed to be dirty.”
The Brooklyn producer interpolates scratches of L’s “Sandman 118” and a pattern flip of Roy Ayers Ubiquity’s “All people Loves The Sunshine” to backdrop Emmy-winning rapper Devine Carama’s supreme lyrical skills on their single “MVP (Most Worthwhile Poet)“.
A standout from the duo’s newest collaborative album ‘Guardians of the Increase Bap’, “MVP” will get an official music video, unveiled in the present day (9.16.2025).
Directed by Shooter McGavin, the video was shot at notable landmarks representing the artwork scene of Devine’s hometown of Lexington, Kentucky.
“Artwork is a whole lot of issues. For some, it’s leisure. For some it’s commerce. For me, artwork is a voice. Artwork is tradition. The ‘MVP’ music video options two legendary artwork landmarks (Lyric Theatre & Cultural Arts Heart, and Lexington Artwork League) and Lexington’s latest place to play, Gatton Park On The City Department.” –Devine Carama

In distinction to the throng of cross-generational spitters featured throughout that album’s 18 tracks, the self-proclaimed “Beat King” has, as soon as once more, locked in with one MC for ‘Guardians of the Increase Bap’, a concise physique of labor devoted to the naked necessities of Hip-Hop’s Golden Period.
“I’m a sucker for an actual lyricist, and Devine is an animal on the mic!” says Amadeus.
Launched on all main digital streaming platforms by way of Soulspazm on June 13, the brand new album follows the fourth installment of Carama’s critically acclaimed ‘Kingtucky’ sequence.
As an activist, youth advocate, printed writer, and school professor, the rapper’s socially acutely aware tenor shines all through the album.
“We wish listeners to get that very same feeling they bought listening to hip-hop within the 90’s,” Carama explains. “Simply beats, rhymes, and life.”
