Netflix Tudum 2025: Watch Hanumankind Run It Up for Squid Game 3; Lady Gaga turns Zombieboy for Wednesday 2

Watch Hanumankind perform for Squid Game season 3

Hanumankind, aka rapper Sooraj Cherukat from India, whose raw stage energy and fiery verses have fans tossing comparisons to Kendrick Lamar, took centre stage at the live event streamed on Netflix. With that raspy voice and a tone you can’t miss, he was a solid fit for an Asian blockbuster like Squid Game. His latest 2025 track got sampled for the event trailer earlier. Netflix shared a clip of his performance at the event, crowd thumping, energy high, and verses dropping hard. Fans are already calling it Tudum’s most powerful opening yet. A fan wrote, “Big energy, big stage, big moment. Hanumankind owned it.”
