Diverse is a Danish (and Swedish, German, Norwegian …) word equivalent to “Various” (In this case short for “Various Artists” - “Diverse Kunstnere”) used for compilation albums.
Diverse (born Kenny Jenkins in chicago, Illinois) is an American rapper. An underground hip-hop artist, he has received critical acclaim “from knowledgeable heads worldwide”.
Diverse got his start in the Chicago hip-hop scene while being employed at a post office. He has worked or associated with Chicago hip-hop mainstays such as J.U.I.C.E., Copperpot and Iomos Marad. His debut EP, Move, featuring the track “Time”, appeared in 2001.
He has professional relationships with RJD2 and Prefuse 73. He contributed to Prefuse 73’s album One Word Extinguisher, rhyming on the track “Plastic”. Prefuse 73 also produced the original beat for “Wylin’ Out”, a track which paired Diverse with the beloved New York rapper Mos Def. After “Wylin’ Out” was well-received, Definitive Jux’s RJD2 was tapped to remix the song. The remix was selected for inclusion on the 2002 Urban Renewal Program compilation.

Ist "Diverse" jetzt ein Bezeichnung für verschiedene Interpreten, oder eine Bezeichung für einen speziellen Künstler? Ich bin verwirrt...
