Proklaim’s latest release is a commentary on the state of hip-hop that benefits greatly from his liquid flows and immersive flair that never fails to draw you in to pay attention to every word and rhythmic inflection.
It is not a secret that we’ve grown very fond of Proklaim’s work. A rapper and producer who hails from the Namibian capital Windhoek, Proklaim is a very active musician as he finds writing songs and recording them a gratifying process, and lucky for us because the man hits far more often than he misses.
A genuinely talented performer, Proklaim’s flows and lines are tightly packed and well-delivered. Usually leaning into a more melancholic sound to his thoughtful commentaries and ideas, the darker soundscapes he creates are often appropriately sparse enough to leave ample room for his delivery to flourish, and ‘PRICE OF LOVE aka 4 THE GAME’ is a case in point. Rich vocal presence underneath his lead delivery plays a big role in populating the mix, creating the sound of a larger group in action.
‘PRICE OF LOVE aka 4 THE GAME’ is one more winner for a name that has grown more reliable with time. Even if you don’t dig the words, Proklaim’s sensibilities in crafting rich atmospheres and his hypnotic flows are sure to pull you in.
