Hanumankind
Sooraj Cherukat (born 17 October 1992), known professionally as Hanumankind, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor from Kerala, India. He released his first single "Daily Dose" from his debut EP Kalari in 2019. He received mainstream popularity in India and internationally with his track "Big Dawgs", which features the Hyderabad-based artist and producer Kalmi and American rapper ASAP Rocky on its remix. He acted in the 2024 Malayalam film, Rifle Club, directed by Aashiq Abu.
Sooraj Cherukat was born on 17 October 1992, in Malappuram, Kondotty, Kerala, India. His father works for a leading oil company, as a result he moved around a lot. As a child, Cherukat lived in Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Egypt, Qatar, and Italy before settling down in Houston, Texas when he was in second grade. He attended Houston Community College in 2011. In 2012, he returned to India enrolling at PSG College in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu to pursue a degree in business administration. He worked at Goldman Sachs in 2014, and also as a personal trainer.
Cherukat officially began his career as a professional rapper by performing at NH7 Weekender, which is held in multiple cities and releasing his debut EP Kalari, in 2019. Before the release of Kalari, he had released a mixtape consisting of him rapping on YouTube beats, called the 959 Mixtape on Soundcloud and a single "Super Mario", where he rapped over a beat which sampled the video game Super Mario's soundtrack in 2018. The name Hanumankind is a portmanteau of the Hindu deity Hanuman and "mankind".
Cherukat released his sophomore EP, Surface Level, in 2020, which was succeeded by the release of some singles, such as "DAMNSON", "Genghis", "Go To Sleep", as well as collaborations, like "THAT'S A FACT" and "Enemies" with Yashraj.
He collaborated with Charan Raj and Sanjith Hegde for the song "Maadeva" featuring on the Kannada movie Popcorn Monkey Tiger.
His song "The Last Dance" is featured on the official soundtrack for the Malayalam-language film Aavesham.
He was featured in Rolling Stone India's first edition of the "Future of Music" list in March 2024. He gained widespread recognition both with the release of the single and its music video "Big Dawgs", featuring Kalmi, in July 2024. The accompanying music video directed by Bijoy Shetty, features Cherukat performing in a classic carnival attraction with motorcycles known as the well of death. The video was shot in Ponnani, his hometown district in Kerala, India.
He also acted in the 2024 Malayalam film, Rifle Club, directed by Aashiq Abu. In 2025, he released his song "Run It Up", which features chenda drums in its instrumental, and performed the song at Netflix's 2025 Tudum event. He performed the single "Holiday" on the Colors Show and headlined the "OTW Tour" in support of his debut mixtape, Monsoon Season, in the summer of 2025. On July 17, 2025, before his debut mixtape release, Cherukat was featured on "Victory Lap Three" by Skepta, Fred Again, and PlaqueBoyMax.
