The combination of Hip Hop and the paintings of Vincent van Gogh is probably not the first thing you think about. That is not what ANKHLEJOHN and Big Ghost thought, and thanks to their talents, this at first glance strange combination works surprising well, so let’s dive into post-impressionism and the art of van Gogh.

Today we will visit Brooklyn, but not for long because we are going to go on Homer’s Odyssey.

What will happen when you base your style on the golden era of hip-hop but completely shake it from its foundation and cover it in the progressive modern garments of the digital age of the second and third decades of the new millennium? al.divino is breaking the rules of the game, ignoring the boundaries of the music industry, and creating a new surrealistic sub-genre.

Their way up is making Griselda with their co-founder Westside Gunn in front.
