Text Credits: Aishwarya B S
The curly haired beauty and her rapper husband shattered all barriers through their music and even took it to higher realms with their new release. The duo joined hands in their stadium tour ‘On The Run II’ which is the second succeeding the one their album in 2014.
All the songs come with interesting titles- Summer, Apeshit, Boss, Nice, 713, Friends, Heard About Us, Black Effect, and Love Happy, journeying through the various phases and dimensions of the couple’s individual as well as married lives. This was released on last Saturday with the video of Bey and Jay Z standing in front of the Monalisa painting at the Louvre, being played on the screen ending with the words ‘ALBUM OUT NOW’.
Everything Is Love redefines the couple’s relationship after Beyonce’s solo album Lemonade, released in 2006 and Jay Z’s solo 4:44. They have incorporated their personal and public lives, their views on the current social setting and showcases the plight of black people in today’s white America.
The fascinating unpredictability of life is what makes the album interesting and the healing power of art that is imparted through their music is one of the unique factors. In the end, it is all about the effort you take in compromising and sailing the ship forward to explore the unexplored. This gentle reminder is taken up in a wide spectrum and rhythmically presented in this venture where they open up like never before. Also, they celebrate life, happiness, reliability all gracefully glazed in love, embarking an enchanting journey of life. The poise and sophisticated majesty the couple possess adds to the charm of the album. It received a good response upon its release on June 16.
Various commentaries were received, with many speculating if the lyrics are amply suggestive. Heard About Us is said to be suggesting Tiffany Hadish (celebrity spokesperson), Friends about Jay Z’s relationship with Kanye West, Boss about Drake are some which were immediately focused upon.

Introducing Hanumankind, Kerala’s Boundary-Breaking Rapper
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.
