Divine Council

Divine Council collaborated with Andre 3000, touring before SXSW

Richmond, Virginia rap group Divine Council put out their debut EP Council World in August, which included the song “Decemba (Remix)” that has a show-stopping verse from Andre 3000. Andre 3000 also directed the song’s video, and Divine Council talked to XXL about working with him:

Having Andre involved was deadass a dream come true. The whole experience of working with him side by side on something so amazing is deadass hard to fathom. [We] truly appreciate having a mentor like him and thankful for his belief in us. The shooting of the video was a whole new experience, a nigga really felt like Denzel and shit. Every time we link up with [André 3000] he always has nothing but advice and constructive criticism. Real Council lessons.

Erykah Badu is a Divine Council fan too, so they come very well recommended. The group followed their EP with a new single/video this month, “Dirtbags in Distress.” Check out that video, the Andre 3000 collab, and a stream of the Council World EP, below.

Divine Council opened the recent Young Thug / 21 Savage tour, including the NYC show at Terminal 5 in December. They have more dates coming up this year, including SXSW and their first-ever headlining show in NYC: Baby’s All Right on March 10. Tickets for the Baby’s show are on sale now. All known dates are listed below.
