Chartbreaker: Hanumankind’s Breakthrough Went Global — Now, He’s Running With the ‘Big Dawgs’

The rap hit has reached No. 23 on the Hot 100 and topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart.

When “Big Dawgs,” the riotous song by Indian rapper Hanumankind and producer Kalmi, began spreading across the world in July, its creators couldn’t fully appreciate its impact. Despite sites like YouTube and Reddit signaling the song’s crossover appeal, Hanumankind and his team were largely in the dark about its impact on TikTok — including the more than 1 million posts using the track to date — since India banned the platform in 2020.

“We’re hearing about this going crazy, but we can’t wrap our heads around [it],” Hanumankind tells Billboard. “We’re sitting at home like, ‘I guess this is happening. Let’s strap in.’ ”
