More Than a Moment: Why Li63rty’s ‘Divine Times’ is the Soundtrack to Survival

There’s a specific kind of wisdom that only comes from navigating the streets of East Flatbush. It’s a mix of grit, deep-rooted faith, and the ability to turn a loss into a lesson. For Stephanie “Liberty” Francois—better known as Li63rty—that wisdom is the heartbeat of her latest project, Divine Times.

Released on December 26, 2025, Divine Times isn’t just another drop in the feed. Executive produced by Finn Ominal, this album marks a massive shift for the Haitian-American artist. It’s a statement piece that sits right at the intersection of heavy grief and “God timing,” proving that when you stop rushing the process, the alignment finds you.

From Poetry to the Boardroom

Li63rty’s path hasn’t been linear. She started with poetry, found her voice on the stage at Nicholas Brooklyn, and sharpened her lyrical teeth with the Eastside City (E.S.C.) collective. But she’s never been just a rapper.

Between running The Finest Mgmt Corp and building The Finest Brand Co., Li63rty has become a bridge-builder, connecting the vibes of Brooklyn to her roots in Haiti and her community in Ghana. She’s an author and an entrepreneur who understands that music is just one way to tell a story of empowerment.

Turning Survival into “Spiritual Currency”

While her 2022 debut Again put her on the map, Divine Times feels like the evolution. It carries the weight of her lived experience—the loss of her mother, the strength she drew from her grandmother, and the enduring memory of her close friend, Kapo.

The music doesn’t just talk about survival; it treats those stories like currency. On tracks like the June 2025 standout “Make It Home,” you hear the “street grit” that Flatbush is known for, but it’s polished with a sense of spiritual urgency. She’s not just rapping about where she’s been; she’s showing you where she’s going.

Why This Project Hits Different

Most albums feel like a collection of songs meant for a specific month. Divine Times feels like a season. It’s reflective, confident, and raw. It’s the sound of an artist who has stopped trying to prove herself to the world and started speaking her truth for the people who need to hear it most.

Li63rty is building a legacy that’s bigger than the charts. She’s a reminder that resilience isn’t just about getting through the day—it’s about what you build with the pieces left behind.

Want to hear the evolution for yourself? Divine Times is out now. Whether you’ve been following her since her E.S.C. days or you’re just catching the wave, this is the one you need to have on repeat.
