"Now here’s Sooraj Cherukat, @Hanumankind1 @hanumankind (Insta) who’s rapping his way to global recognition. Rap may not be for everyone, but this guy from Kerala & now Bengaluru via Texas is popping eyes across to U.S for his authentic sound & his extraordinary, raw videos. Especially his latest: Big Dawgs, which features the Well of Death or, as I knew it when I was a kid: मौत का कुआँ ! Seems like there’s no form of music young Indian trail breakers can’t cross into…," he added.
Initially, people mistook him as a western artist. The Big Dawgs, which has been one of the most talked song on the internet, offers great visuals. The editing, music, beats has been topnotch and will keep you on the edge of the seat. The song was shot at Ponani in Kerala.
