Hanumankind has always been a dope MC. Check out his RedBull 64 Bars from 2022 for proof of that. But in this modern day, MCs need to be more than dope to get attention. They need all the factors to come perfectly together and hit just at the right time. His latest video from a month ago, ‘Big Dawgs,’ is all that and more.
LiFTED covered ‘Big Dawgs’ on July 26 and since then, it’s become the biggest Asian Hip Hop video in the world. Hanumankind was raised in Texas and it helps that the song’ is in English, but ‘Big Dawgs’ is Desi Hip Hop through and through. With the rattling of the cars going Mad Max-style around the wooden planks of the Well of Death, Hanumankind hit the sweet spot and now has nearly 30 million views, with streams racking up from around the world.
After a year-long break from music, no one could have predicted the madness that is ‘Big Dawgs,’ both on the screen and in the charts. On Spotify, he’s held the number one spot on the Viral Global Songs chart since the end of July.
“We made ‘Big Dawgs’ way early this year, but it felt right to be the next release. The energy. The power. The grit. We wanted to create something that speaks to my journey and to that of all others taking risks in life,” Hanumankind said on social media.
