Mahindra group chairman Anand Mahindra

Business tycoon Anand Mahindra, who has a keen interest in music and art, has found rapper Sooraj Cherukat's latest track interesting and has heaped praises on him, dubbing his music "authentic and extraordinary".

Taking to social media platform X, Anand Mahindra wrote, "Have posted recently about astonishingly talented young women of Indian origin making waves in indigenous American music genres. Now here’s Sooraj Cherukat, @Hanumankind1 @hanumankind (Insta) who’s rapping his way to global recognition. Rap may not be for everyone, but this guy from Kerala & now Bengaluru via Texas is popping eyes across to US for his authentic sound & his extraordinary, raw videos. Especially his latest: Big Dawgs, which features the Well of Death or, as I knew it when I was a kid: मौत का कुआँ ! Seems like there’s no form of music young Indian trailbreakers can’t cross into."

Earlier, in 2018, Anand Mahindra posted his photo with rapper Divine on X and called himself a fan of desi rap.

He wrote, "I see it as a new voice of the next generation. It’s raw, uninhibited, and constantly explores new territories of expression-Just like the Thar. I’m also a fan of the rapper Divine. Yesterday I got a chance to gift one Jungli Sher to another"
