All about Hanumankind
Sooraj Cherukat , better known by his stage name , is a dynamic Indian rapper, singer, and songwriter hailing from Kerala. His music, blending sharp lyricism with eclectic beats, has captivated audiences both in India and internationally.
Hanumankind began his journey in 2019 with his debut EP Kalari, featuring the single "Daily Dose," which marked his entry into the Indian independent music scene. Performing at prominent events like NH7 Weekender helped establish him as a promising artist. Inspired by the deity Hanuman, symbolizing honour, courage, and loyalty, he adopted the moniker "Hanumankind," a name deeply connected to his roots and culture.
His career reached new heights with the release of Big Dawgs in July 2024, a collaboration with Hyderabad-based artist and producer Kalmi. The track quickly gained widespread acclaim for its bold energy and became a viral sensation. Its visually stunning music video, directed by Bijoy Shetty, features Cherukat performing in a "wall of death" carnival act, showcasing motorcycles in gravity-defying stunts. Shot in Malappuram, Kerala, the video was praised for its creativity and high-octane action, even earning a feature on Kerala Tourism's Instagram page.
