Kerala-born rapper Hanumankind, also known as Sooraj Cherukat, took the stage at the historic "Modi and US" event at Nassau Coliseum in New York, modifying his bold lyrics to suit the family-friendly atmosphere. Hanumankind, whose original track "Big Dawgs" contains some explicit language, reworked the lines for the performance, making sure his lyrics would resonate with the diverse audience of 15,000 members of the Indian diaspora.

Performing a toned-down version of his hit song, Hanumankind delivered verses like:

"Wait a minute (uh), get it how you live it (uh),  
Ten toes in when we standin' on business  
I'm a big stepper, underground methods  
Top-notch flows get the most, not the lesser (most, not the lesser)  
Flag bearer, look into the mirror  
Pushin' culture, baby, got that vision getting clearer."

Hanumankind's performance, especially the adapted lyrics, quickly went viral, earning praise from music enthusiasts. The rapper’s hit single, "Big Dawgs," recently charted in the top 10 on Billboard Global 2002, further cementing his growing global presence. His on-stage presence, combined with the family-friendly approach, struck a chord with the audience. 

After the performance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Hanumankind, greeting him with "Jai Hanuman" and expressing his admiration for the artist. 

Despite facing criticism for his current song, "Big Dawgs," which has been met with mixed reactions, Hanumankind has continued to rise in popularity. Produced by Kalmi under Brown Crew Productions, "Big Dawgs" has garnered attention for its powerful message and captivating visuals.

The "Modi and US" event gathered a lively crowd from 42 states to celebrate a landmark moment in Long Island. Popular artists like Devi Sri Prasad, Aditya Gadhvi, and Hanumankind shared the stage, with each performer captivating the audience. This marked the first time these stars performed together, promising a night to remember. Aditya Gadhvi, known for his super hit track "Khalasi," mesmerized the crowd, while Hanumankind’s energetic performance of his viral song "Big Dawgs" kept the audience on their feet.
