Hanumankind unleashes high-profile collabs and global tour plans
Kerala-born and Houston-raised rapper Hanumankind has finally dropped his much-anticipated debut mixtape, Monsoon Season, via Capitol Records/Universal Music India. The 12-track project arrives after a whirlwind year filled with viral singles, high-energy performances—including a milestone debut at Coachella—and a successful sold-out European tour. Monsoon Season is a bold and expansive body of work that showcases Hanumankind's razor-sharp lyricism, global sound, and unrelenting ambition. Previously released bangers like 'Run It Up,' 'Holiday,' 'Villanous,' and fan-favorite 'Big Dawgs' (now boasting a fiery remix featuring A$AP Rocky) return in this mixtape, joined by new standouts including 'Reckless' featuring Denzel Curry, and the gritty 'Goons' featuring Maxo Kream. Though best known for his aggressive flow and electrifying stage presence, Hanumankind reveals his emotional depth in slower, introspective tracks like 'Someone Told Me' and 'Cause.' These songs peel back the layers of the artist, touching on themes of ambition, isolation, and personal struggle. Executive produced by Kalmi, a long-time collaborator, and with creative direction from Bijoy, Monsoon Season reflects years of tight-knit artistic brotherhood. The trio has worked together to develop a unique sonic and visual world, rich with texture and storytelling. Hanumankind's team shared that the mixtape's songs were created 'in the quiet,' long before the limelight, drawing from raw experiences and a relentless drive. To celebrate the release, Hanumankind also announced his first-ever North American headlining tour, 'OTW TOUR — NORTH AMERICA,' with stops in major cities including Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and his hometown Houston. The upcoming tour follows his breakout UK and Europe run, where he sold out shows in London, Paris, Dublin, and Amsterdam. With Monsoon Season, Hanumankind officially cements his place in the international hip-hop scene—armed with sonic diversity, lyrical firepower, and a fearless creative vision.

Pakistan landslide after heavy rain kills 5, with 15 missing
Flash floods, collapsed buildings and electrocutions have killed 221 people nationwide since the monsoon season arrived in late June with heavier rains that usual. More than eight vehicles were swept away on Monday when heavy rains triggered a landslide on a highway in Diamer district, Gilgit-Baltistan region. "One local resident and four tourists have died and among the deceased is an unidentified woman," Atta-ur-Rehman Kakar, a senior official in Diamer, said in a video statement Tuesday. Nearly 100 homes have been destroyed in the floods, and rescue operations were ongoing, he added. The region is a popular tourist destination, marked by towering mountains, deep valleys and wide rivers. Faizullah Faraq, spokesperson for the regional government, said hundreds of visitors have been rescued. "Government teams cleared debris and escorted them off the mountain road, while local villagers provided emergency shelter and assistance," Faraq added. Floods and landslides in the area have blocked major highways, damaged communication signals, four bridges, a hotel and a school. Washed out buses used by tourists were left abandoned on the side of the road after the destruction caused by the landslides. Rescued families holding babies and carrying rucksacks sat on rocks while rescue teams handed them food at the scene of a landslide. Lacking disaster management Nationwide, the death toll from monsoon-related incidents since June 26 includes 104 children, while more than 500 people have been injured, Pakistan's National Disaster Management Agency said Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the agency told AFP that the heavy rains usually start later in the monsoon season. "Such death tolls are usually seen in August, but this year the impact has been markedly different," she said. Monsoon season brings South Asia 70 to 80 percent of its annual rainfall, and runs from late June until September in Pakistan. The annual rains are vital for agriculture and food security, and the livelihoods of millions of farmers, but also bring destruction. Sherry Rehman, the former climate change minister, pointed out "the absence of an effective, comprehensive disaster management system in the country", in a statement released by her office. In late June, at least 13 tourists were swept to their deaths while sheltering from flash floods on a raised river bank. In 2022, monsoon floods submerged a third of the country and killed 1,700 people.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1388 Hints, Clues And Answer For Monday, April 7th
How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Well, well, well. I see it's Monday again. The wheel of time keeps spinning. We're back to square one, and spring is finally making itself known here in the mountains. Soon, the crab apple trees in my front and back yards will blossom into stunning pink clouds. If I could pick the seasons, in my own private world, I would have Blossom Season, Monsoon Season and High Autumn. Between High Autumn and Blossoms, I'd sneak in a couple weeks of snow, though it would always be snowing up on the mountain peaks and skiing would go year-round. The snowpack would provide constant runoff for rivers and streams and lakes, a riparian cornucopia ensuring only the mildest wildfires would ever come for our arboreal paradise. The pink and white blossoms of spring, the green of summer monsoons, the orange and yellow and red of fall, and the mountains always waiting in bridal white. And a Wordle, of course.

It ultimately derives from the Proto-Germanic *hasalaz, which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *koselos, meaning 'hazel tree.' Related words appear in Old High German (hasal), Old Norse (hesli), and Dutch (hazelaar). The word has also been used historically to describe the color of hazel nuts—usually a light brown or greenish-brown—especially when referring to eyes.
