B Dvine Announces the Release of His SelfProduced Single/Video “Nothing Personal” Hip Hop recording artist and producer B Dvine releases visuals for his latest self -produced single titled “Nothing Personal”, available now on digital platforms. The New York-based artist flows over a fusion of rendered 70’s soulful tones and striking bass. Lyrically, Dvine brings forth his A-game and flips his downfalls and setbacks to elevate his stance in the music industry, as well as his personal life. The hungry emcee is in it to win it and bar for bar leaves no room for error and no room for competition. As Dvine tanks through naysayers and sideline rappers, he urges you to remember it’s ‘nothing personal’.

Over a kaleidoscope of cosmic tones and striking bass, Knucklez declares his solo takeover, Gotti style.
“Always on the let go, no I aint wit you”, he’s armed and hunting whack industry players and rappers like ducks. Knucklez cutthroat and gritty use of wordplay along with his headstrong hook is a reminder of the tenacity that exudes from Philly Hip Hop.
