Mumbai, July 2024: Hanumankind, one of Southern India's most influential rappers, has released his new single "Big Dawgs" with Def Jam Recordings India. This track marks his return after a year-long hiatus from the music scene.
Produced by Kalmi, a longtime collaborator, "Big Dawgs" features Hanumankind’s signature style with bold, self-assured lyrics. The track harks back to his early work, particularly the "Surface Level" EP, and showcases his lyrical prowess and confidence.
With slick, self-absorbing rhymes, Hanumankind proclaims his dominance in the Indian rap scene, making a triumphant return with ‘Big Dawg’.
Reflecting on his return, Hanumankind said, "It feels great to be releasing music after a while. The last release was Go to sleep, which was well over a year ago. We made big dogs 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 the others taking risks in life.
