Kerala-born and Houston-raised rapper Hanumankind is back with a compelling new single titled “Holiday,” premiered exclusively on the iconic live music platform COLORS. Known for spotlighting unique and genre-defying voices, COLORS provides a fitting stage for Hanumankind’s introspective performance, showcasing his lyrical prowess and magnetic presence.
Produced by longtime collaborators Parimal Shais and Kalmi, “Holiday” is a striking departure from mainstream rap tropes. It’s a contemplative track that dives deep into themes of internal conflict, destructive impulses, and the quest for personal meaning. Balancing a minimal beat with intense delivery, Hanumankind wrestles with the ever-present tension between free will and fate, creating a narrative that resonates beyond borders.
This release underscores the rapper’s signature ability to command attention with minimal instrumentation—a talent he demonstrated in his breakout singles “Big Dawgs” and “Run It Up.” Where those tracks were high-energy and unrelenting, “Holiday” slows things down while retaining every bit of emotional intensity. It’s a track that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Hanumankind’s COLORS debut arrives at a pivotal moment. He is slated to perform at Netflix’s premier global fan event “Tudum,” streaming live from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on May 31st. His inclusion in the event marks another major milestone in his fast-rising career. His track “Run It Up” was already featured in the official Tudum trailer, further cementing his growing relationship with the streaming giant.
This isn’t his first collaboration with Netflix either. Fans will recognize him from “The Game Don’t Stop,” a track he created for the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show in Netflix’s history. His seamless integration into the worlds of music, television, and digital media is a testament to his versatility and bold artistic vision.
As “Holiday” begins to make waves across digital streaming platforms, it’s clear that Hanumankind is carving a unique space in the global hip-hop scene—blending introspection with impact, and philosophy with flow. Whether through COLORS, Squid Game, or the global Tudum stage, Hanumankind continues to redefine what it means to be an artist in the modern era.
