The song openly criticises the history of gun violence in America and reflects it in a way that it has never been shown before. It is absolutely mesmerizing, Violent and beautifully melodic; the message is slightly dark but black enough to challenge the white atrocities

Donald McKinley Glover Jr. also known as Childish Gambino made a strong political statement by dropping his latest music video called This Is America. The video is visually remarkable and has stirring commentary from Childish Gambino on the state of America as he dances with children in a warehouse in one moment then guns down a gospel choir in the next.

The politically charged video is the first bit of new music we’ve gotten from Donald Glover since his Grammy nominated massive 2016 album, Awaken, My Love! The shirtless Gambino dances in an empty building as chaos erupts around him, with some of that chaos coming from Gambino himself, as he casually shoots a hooded man in the back of the head who was seen peacefully playing the guitar earlier and mows down a group of choir singers with a gun. Later in the video, Sza can be seen sitting nearby, as Gambino dances on top of an ’80s sedan.

The video ends with a petrified Gambino running through dark hallways, being chased by a crowd before the shot cuts to pitch black. The video has already been praised as an artistic, confrontational take about the gun violence in American society, with guns being treated with care while corpses are dragged away.

Have you ever envisioned a rapper from Kerala taking off similar pranks for a viral music video on the internet? That’s exactly what HanuMankind’s “Big Dawgs” has accomplished, racking up over 17 million views on YouTube and holding the 43rd position in the worldwide top music video chart right now.

“Pushing culture baby, got that product you can’t measure,” is the official slogan of the “Big Dawgs.” Rapper HanuMankind, who was born in Kerala, wrote, sang, and performed the song that launched desi hip-hop on a worldwide scale. This newest Instagram success is causing social media influencers, music reviewers, and fans worldwide to go crazy.

The newest mega song, “Big Dawg” featuring Kalmi, is causing quite a stir among hip-hop fans worldwide. Texas is where Sooraj Cherukat, better known by his stage as HanuMankind, spent his formative years. He created the ideal combination of desi and global components in the ‘Big Dawg’ music video by incorporating sounds with a Texas flavour.

‘Big Dawg’ is a raw video with a South American flavour, shot in Ponnani, Kerala, a coastal district. It has a desi swagger and an explosive punk vibe that is hard-hitting due to its South Indian location. It is Instagram-worthy thanks to its intense drumbeats, gritty graphics, heart-pounding moments, and deft editing.

With songs like “Rush Hour,” “Genghis,” and “Go To Sleep,” HanuMankind is becoming one of the most prominent names in popular hip-hop. ‘Big Dawgs’ has now catapulted him to an unparalleled level as an industry innovator.

Bijoy Shetty is the director of “Big Dawgs,” and Kalmi of Brown Crew Productions is supporting the film. The main rider, Sulthan Sheikh, Moor Saleem, Muhammad Shadab Ansari, and Kashish Sheikh all perform the tricks.
