Trivia
Hanumankind first burst into the limelight after his debut festival performance at NH7, which was around the time he released his now coveted EP, ‘Kalari’. The surprising fact in Hanumankind’s rise is that he has done it all while being independent. He has since signed a lucrative deal with Universal Music, which is likely to see him grow his catalogue and maybe even start doing tours around the world. Only time will tell.
I bet you might be wondering how a guy from Kerala ends up releasing a banger that could easily be charted in the USA. Well, you might not be shocked to learn that Sooraj has always been a lover of hip-hop music and often pays homage to some of his favorite rappers in his music through his lyrics and flows, which he sometimes “borrows.”
He considers himself a boundary-pushing and challenge-embracing person and is usually always looking for the next challenge to take on. Through hard work and dedication, Hanumankind found himself being featured on Netflix’s “Namma Stories” back in 2021. He has since been releasing banger after banger and has landed features from noteworthy platforms such as The Times of India, Indian Express, Vice, VH1, Supersonic, Under25, FirstPost, and Casa Barcardi, to mention a few.
