Breakthrough Indian emcee & songwriter Hanumankind and record producer Kalmi have enlisted Harlem’s rap pioneer A$ap Rocky on the massive “Big Dawgs (Remix)”. First announced by HMK via Instagram this week, the extended cut traverses lethal bars by the Bengaluru-based rapper and Flacko for nearly 4 minutes.
As reported earlier, the flagrant remix arrived after HMK first previewed it during Flacko’s massive live set at Rolling Loud Thailand last week.
“Twenty-thousand bamboo packs, a hundred rolls
Ridin’ ’round a hundred smokes, remember, I was young and broke
Holes in all our clothes, like some honeycombs
More foes than mama drove, crackheads by the corner store
Bakin’ soda by the stove, mattress on the floor
Mice and the roaches
My room ain’t have a door, but I had some dope
Let ’em hang theyself, I’m runnin’ out of rope
Got to play it safe, you better not approach
Wide n—- eyes, Jackie Chan, Lil bitch,” Flacko raps in the first verse of the fierce cut.
Hanumankind swiftly follows the “At.Long.Last.A$ap” rapper with a hard-hitting verse which draws from the original version of the track and later flexes, rather rightly so, having “Rocky on the remix”.
“Got me swervin’ through that weak s—
Hottest on the block, blocka, blocka, bring the heat, b—-
Don’t know how to stop, we got Flacko on the remix
Watch how they gon’ top, watch our haters lookin’ screamish
Watch how panties drop, watch who your woman try to leave with
But I’m just tryin’ to leave with my dignity
So much goin’ on in this industry
So much that they want, so much that they all pretend to be
They f—– with the energy, focus on your energy, OD, Lord,” HMK raps.
Flacko further pays homage to Tupac’s mother Afeni Shakur and discusses his top-tier status in the global rap game.
“I feel like Afeni Shakur, they let the 2Pac’s in the air
They let off two shots in the air, they let off two shots in the— (Bah, bah, bah)
I feel like Afeni Shakur, you got to shot for the cure
I wasn’t out shoppin’ no deal, quadruple my profit in four (Bah, bah)
They paid me my probable shares, this year, ain’t no profit no more
I grossed fifty million this year, I think they forgot it in Forbes,” A$ap raps.

For Flacko, the remix arrives amidst high anticipation for his forthcoming LP “Don’t Be Dumb”. Earlier this year, A$ap premiered four rap records ahead of his album titled “Ruby Rosary” featuring J. Cole, “Tailor Swif”, “Highjack” and “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’N)”.
Besides his debut collaboration with HMK, Rocky hopped on two collaborations – “Hoodlumz” with Denzel Curry & PlayThatBoiZay and “Gang$ta” with Anderson .Paak & Free Nationals – this summer.
