Hanumankind’s “On The Radar Freestyle”: A Display of Raw Energy & Poetic Swagger

If you’re familiar with Hanumankind, the Indian rapper who briefly surpassed global icons like Kendrick Lamar on music charts, you’d expect his “On The Radar Freestyle” to pack a punch—and it doesn’t disappoint.

This freestyle is a showcase of sharp lyricism, weaving punchy rhymes and layered storytelling with cultural pride and grit.

But it’s not just about showing off; it’s a masterclass in crafting an identity that’s unafraid to disrupt conventions.

Embracing “Third World” Roots with “First Class” Ambition

Hanumankind opens with a pointed nod to his roots, saying, “This that first class, third world, running up the digits.”

Straight away, he draws a line between his origins and his ambition, showing that “third world” is no limitation—it’s the foundation.

It’s a bold assertion of self-made success from an artist from Kerala whose journey has spanned continents. For Hanumankind, this is more than a line; it’s a declaration.

Mastering Rhyme and Flow in Each Verse

Hanumankind’s flow in this freestyle is relentless, almost hypnotic. He navigates effortlessly between internal and external rhymes, crafting lines that land hard and keep listeners hooked.

Phrases like “real life, get it right, stay away from gimmicks” emphasise his distaste for the inauthentic, while “hometown hero, but we moving like the villains”reminds us he’s not here to play by anyone else’s rules.

It’s controlled chaos, where every rhyme scheme builds on the last, adding depth to his message without losing pace.

An Unpredictable Cadence and Style

This freestyle isn’t just about the lyrics; it’s a study in cadence and control.

Hanumankind takes his time, letting bars linger, only to suddenly pick up the tempo just when you think you’ve found the rhythm.

When he says, “Check the cabin pressure, we arriving, this is your pilot,” he’s toying with the delivery, almost like he’s giving a verbal turbulence warning.

His shifts from laid-back delivery to rapid-fire bars mirror his own experience of navigating between cultures and identities, never losing his grip.

Sharp Wordplay: Vampires, Villains, and Verbal Swagger

In “On The Radar,” Hanumankind’s wordplay is razor-sharp. Lines like “Dracula, going for the jugular” and “But the vampires f** with the count”* show off his playful but gritty approach, as he flips familiar tropes into striking bars.

The Dracula reference lands differently, as he uses it to express his frustration with people who “feed” off his success, hinting at those who take without giving back.

It’s clever without feeling forced, blending humour and bite in equal measure.

A Freestyle with Purpose and Social Awareness

What’s truly impressive is that Hanumankind isn’t just dropping bars for the sake of it.

Towards the end, he subtly introduces themes of perseverance, social awareness, and identity.

Lines like, “If you think that we don’t get it, baby, one day that’ll change,” and “Got a chance to make it different, so we trudgin’ through the trenches,” remind us of his broader mission.

This isn’t solely about personal success; it’s about representation, resilience, and redefining stereotypes in a genre often shaped by borders.

In “On The Radar Freestyle,” Hanumankind delivers everything—unapologetic lyricism, inventive wordplay, and an attitude that positions him among hip-hop’s best, not only in India but worldwide.

His style, influenced by both American Southern hip-hop and Indian roots, is punchy yet nuanced, with substance that defies borders.

Hanumankind’s freestyle is more than just a performance; it’s a raw, unfiltered look at an artist who’s not merely part of the scene but redefining it.

Hanumankind On The Radar Freestyle Lyrics

Verse
This that first class, third world, running up the digits
This that get money plus your girl, how we handle business
This that real life, get it right, stay away from gimmicks
This that hometown hero, but we movin’ like the villains
This that topnotch, keep it hot, burnin’ all the bridges
This that one way, here to stay, wait until he finish
This that made strong, way beyond anything that you witness
Ooh, look at how he go get this
Ooh, put your shades on when we hit this, baby, we shinin’
Product of the pressure, I’m a diamond
Check the cabin pressure, we arrivin’, this is your pilot
Buckle up, you know we gettin’ rowdy
Knuckle up because we gettin’ violent
Baby, be honest, first time doin’ it, allowed it
Lay you down, ’bout to do the hymen
Fuckin’ up the city’s my assignment
Got ’em all checkin’ out my Johnson
And we hit ’em with the rock then we bouncin’
Yeah, bounce, ‘careful what you bring in my house
I ain’t really fuckin’ with that suckah shit, nah
But the vampires fuckin’ with the count
Mmm, Dracula, goin’ for the jugular
Man, they be tryna mirror my sound
They be tryna fuck up my figure, go bigger ’cause can’t nobody figure this out
No, they can’t top that, fliest from the top-down
Baby, we won’t talk about it, we ain’t gotta talk now
Watch me peel your top back
We ain’t gotta stop now, tell me, can you top that?
Baby, can you top that? Huh?
Murk ya business when we in this, they gon’ witness
Have a testin’, we get Litmus, shit is uncut
Shit is drill, shit expensive, get you fucked up on the flow
Out your senses, another line though, are you sure? Are you with this?
Got a fat sack on the way, Father Christmas
Got it wrapped up with a bow, I present this
To the good folk of the world, take a hit, quick
Uh, can’t nobody do it like this
High-grade, migraine, top shelf cannabis
My shade don’t fit burn like indicus
Roll some, burn some stone like amethyst
Not a protagonist, an activists against all of your idols
My dawgs are wolves amongst all our rivals
We tearin’, pull apart on arrival, like, ooh
Got ’em all howlin’, bitch I’m on the hunt, we prowlin’
Give ’em what they want, they growlin’, ooh-ooh
You ain’t allowed in, the pack stay tight, stay grounded
But the pack got us walkin’ on the clouds, man, ooh
Yeah, elevated, baby, watch me demonstrate it
Yeah, it’s more than what you seein’ on the news that we makin’
If you thinkin’ that we changin’ up our views, you confused
With the moment rather than the bigger picture that we paintin’
Yeah, I know you tired of waitin’, yeah, I know you tired of pain
If you think that we don’t get it, baby, one day that’ll change
Got a chance to make it different, so we trudgin’ through the trenches
Oppositions and defences, baby, charge into the game
