Proklaim’s career so far is nothing short of impressive. Namibia’s extraordinary rapper has been consistently productive since his very beginning, and we’re happy to have been part of the ride.
Consistent in his quality, his output, and his knack for trying out new sounds and styles with each release, Proklaim always manages to create tracks that are at one novel and fresh, yet almost always with a twang of the unusual that keeps us hooked in wait for his drops. The Windhoek rapper Birungi Alexander Kiremire, also known as Proklaim, is a gifted one whose dedication to his craft can almost be felt in his songs. For ‘ENCHANTMENT’, Proklaim blends freestyling with meticulously crafted verses. Listening to the track, you’ll only find his solid flows and tight bars wrapped around the slow stomp of the beat.
A rather aggressive track, ‘ENCHANTMENT’ features a killer beat with an oppressive kick track. His lines are a testament to his constant strive for innovation is his work. Blending a free-styled bridge with written verses, Proklaim’s expressiveness is astounding on this release, and for an a-melodic release, the intensity of Kiremire’s lines and the tightness of his delivery are just what make the track shine.
‘ENCHANTMENT’ is a worthwhile addition to Proklaim’s illustrious portfolio of rap from the south of Africa, Namibia’s gift to the genre. A talented musician whose work, more often than not features a twist or a creative trick, It is always a good day for one of Proklaim’s polished and crisp rap nuggets.
