In a short eight issues, In Search of Divine Styler became more than just a magazine. It became the voice of a movement, and the echoes of that voice can still be heard if one only puts their ear close enough to the underground.
-- Thomas Quinlan

Your magazine is the shilznil . . . You don't fall prey to that old "hip-hop pressure" that breeds conservatism and stagnation. For that braveness, you shall rule.
-- DJ Shadow

“These Canucks inspired the return of Divine Styler…  Spawned a movement to unite the underground.”    
-– URB Magazine

“A tastemaker for the hip-hop underground… Its legacy is mightier than the photocopy paper it was printed on.” 
-- Exclaim! Magazine (click for article)
