Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event is pulling out all the stops, and the biggest live show of the year just got an electric new addition: Hanumankind, a rising hip-hop artist from India who’s redefining what global rap sounds like.
Streaming live from Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31 at 5 p.m. PT (that’s Sunday, June 1 at 5:30 a.m. IST) Hanumankind’s appearance marks a major crossover moment for Netflix’s celebration of music, fandom, and storytelling.
Hanumankind — Bangalore-based rapper Sooraj Cherukat — is known for his high-octane delivery, multilingual dexterity, and sharp, genre-fluid production. His music blends trap, boom-bap, punk, and experimental hip-hop. His energy is often compared to artists like Run the Jewels and Kendrick Lamar, but his distinct voice has its origins in the music landscape of India, especially his ability to blend international flows with regional narratives.
Over the past few years, he’s been building serious momentum in India’s indie scene, performing at NH7 Weekender, collaborating with rising producers like Kalmi and Parimal Shais, and turning heads with tracks like “DAMNSON” and “Genghis.” With Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event drawing audiences across more than 190 countries, Hanumankind’s inclusion is a major moment for South Asian artists on global stages. This isn’t just a one-off music performance — it’s a signal of where global fandom and entertainment are heading: more inclusive, more unexpected, and more international than ever.
If his name (or voice) sounds familiar, maybe you caught Hanumankind in the trailer for Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event — his song “Run It Up” is sampled for the clip. He also co-wrote and performed the song “The Game Don't Stop,” which was part of the campaign for season two of the Netflix global phenomenon, Squid Game.
