In December 2018, Devine performed outside in the cold for 48 hours straight to raise awareness for his annual youth coat drive, "A Coat to Keep The Cold Away". Over the last 10 years, Believing in Forever has facilitated the collection and delivery of over 22,000 coats to children in Central and Eastern Kentucky. In 2017, Believing In Forever led a citywide effort to collect thousands of gallons of water to combat the Flint water crisis. In 2020, Devine walked across the entire state of Kentucky (Pikeville to Paducah) to raise voter awareness.

The Soundtrack For An Unforgettable Year!
Wilderness means a wild and uncultivated region, as of forest or desert, uninhabited or inhabited only by wild animals; a tract of wasteland. As Devine Carama reeled from the death of his teenage daughter, surviving through a once in a lifetime global pandemic, and trying to find value as a blackman in a country that increasingly devalues, he worshiped in his "wilderness", through the music. Carama's most personal project to date, dives into the deep corners of agony and pain and uses his experiences to help others navigate the darkness of their trying times. JK-47 produced the entire album and proved once again to be one of the most diversely talented beatsmith in the game.
