What if I told you that Proklaim has a new record out? And that it’s a banger as always? ‘Crown’ sees the Namibian rapper sharing a slice of mellow, nuanced hip-hop, drenched in old-school flair yet incredibly contemporary. The keen reader will be familiar enough with Proklaim to know what to expect: a positive, uplifting lyrical message which is not that common in today’s music industry.
Celebrated by Mesmerized as “we can say with certainty that his authentic and genuine approach to crafting songs undoubtedly separates him from the rest”, the Windhoek-based creative has a long and nuanced catalogue in his pocket, one that goes a long way in building his international following.
‘Crown’ is everything one would wish for. A soulful, jazzy beat accompanies Proklaim’s energetic flow, here delivered with a certain panache and tongue-in-cheek lyricism yet with a quirky sense of groove. Speaking about the inspiration behind it, the talented rapper explains: “Crown is about seeking to transcend the obstacles that may come between a person and actualising all that they are designed to be…emphasis being on ‘Designed’”.
