The global hip-hop sensation behind the viral powerhouse “Big Dawgs” is officially bringing his explosive energy to Southeast Asia. Hanumankind, the Houston-raised artist who has spent the last year redefining the boundaries of international rap, will perform a headline show at Singapore’s Foochow Building on Wednesday, May 13, at 8pm. The performance marks a pivotal stop on a larger regional tour following highly anticipated dates in Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Petaling Jaya.
From Viral Hook to Global Phenomenon
Born Sooraj Cherukat in Kerala, India, and seasoned by years spent in the Southern United States, Hanumankind represents a new era of transnational artistry. While many listeners first encountered him through the thunderous basslines and relentless flow of “Big Dawgs” on TikTok, his trajectory has proven he is far more than a social media trend. To date, his breakout single has garnered hundreds of millions of streams, securing a firm position on global music charts and earning him accolades from critics and contemporaries alike.
His sound is a distinctive alchemy: the aggressive, rhythmic cadence of Houston hip-hop fused with Indian sonic textures. This unique profile has led to high-profile collaborations with heavyweights like Skepta, Denzel Curry, and A$AP Rocky. Beyond the charts, his cultural reach extended into the world of television when he co-wrote and performed “The Game Don’t Stop” for the promotional campaign of Squid Game Season 2, Netflix’s most-anticipated sequel.
A New Chapter: Monsoon Season
The upcoming Singapore show follows the release of his debut mixtape, Monsoon Season. Across 12 tracks, the project explores high-octane delivery and sharp lyricism, moving away from “viral flexes” toward a more nuanced, stormy atmosphere. The mixtape serves as a roadmap for his live performance, which has garnered a reputation for raw, high-intensity energy and mosh-pit-inducing sets.
Choosing the Foochow Building as the venue reflects this underground spirit. Known for its intimate yet electric atmosphere, the space is a frequent destination for Singapore’s grittier club-energy live shows, providing the perfect backdrop for Hanumankind’s visceral performance style.
