GENRE-BENDING FIRE FROM NAMIBIA: PROKLAIM’S LATEST IS RAW, RESTLESS, AND READY TO SHAKE SPEAKERS!
Proklaim, one of Windhoek’s boldest musical voices, is back, and he’s not holding back! With CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1), released on July 17, 2025, the Namibian singer-rapper delivers a double-shot of sonic adrenaline that’s both inventive and infectious. Blending boom bap grit with the pulse of Amapiano, this release is a no-rules collision of cultures, rhythms, and unapologetic self-expression.
What makes this drop especially magnetic is its seamless genre fusion: old-school hip-hop’s lyrical sharpness meets the bounce and shimmer of South African club grooves, all underscored by a cinematic sample from the Shaka Zulu mini-series; creating a sound that feels simultaneously rooted and futuristic, designed for both deep listening and dancefloor release.
Vocally, Proklaim slides between punchy bars and melodic hooks with an effortlessness that suggests instinct more than planning. And that’s by design. According to the artist, the process was fluid and spontaneous: he bought the beats, vibed with them, and let the verses come naturally. There’s a raw honesty in that method, and it absolutely shows.
Backed by Wojtek Majewski’s crisp mixing and mastering at Audio Art Namibia, every layer of CREEPIN/FURTHER sounds natural and not an ounce forced. Pure talent!
Whether you’re here for the bars, the bounce, or the cross-continental innovation, this release definitely lands with weight!
