Proklaim has released “CELEBRATE”, and as dedicated admirers of his immense talent, we’re determined to break through the noise and give this artist the recognition he deserves.
From the very first moments, the chorus-style vocals stand out, soaring and layered, like glistening bronze. There’s a sweetness to them, balanced by a subtle rasp that makes the sound feel raw and genuine. Intertwined with these vocals are twinkling pianos, soulful organs, and expressive guitars, creating a rich, intricate blend that draws from gospel and jazz influences. This layering commands both thought and emotion, inviting listeners to immerse themselves fully. It’s an awakening led by a powerful voice and a messenger of truth. In this space, Proklaim ascends to near-mythic status, wielding knowledge as his most potent weapon.
Then comes the opening lyrical declaration, unmistakably Proklaim and nothing short of iconic:
“YEBO!”
It’s not just a word, it’s a signature, the essence of what makes him so compelling and unforgettable. As his rap delivery unfolds, a hallmark of his artistry, our attention sharpens, drawn into the lyrical firestorm he unleashes. His cadence rises and falls like waves lifting a surfer or wind beneath an eagle’s wings. The synergy between rhythm and intention is undeniable, seeping into our minds and elevating the core of Proklaim’s craft.
What also truly strikes us about Proklaim, time and again, is the texture of his delivery. It’s smooth yet layered with grit, bold and assertive but tempered with empathy. Beneath it all, there’s a sense of pleading, urging listeners to look deeper, to be more aware, to think beyond themselves. In a musical landscape that often feels self-absorbed, his selfless focus on others sets him apart, making his message resonate even more.
True to his core, his lyrics do more than just entertain, they impart wisdom, offering revelations that linger long after the song ends. He channels themes that echo through the ages, including the timeless warning that:
"the devil is in the details."
Proklaim’s message cuts deep, relevant in today’s world yet also timeless. Why does a music mogul amass so much power and wealth, only to use it as a weapon of destruction? Rather than cherry-picking lines, we encourage you to experience the whole piece with intention. Listen closely, absorb the words, and let them settle as they were meant to. They will surprise you.
Proklaim’s delivery astounds not only in style and velocity but also in the weight it carries. Each verse unfolds like a revelation, illuminating truths, only to pull us back, reminding us of the forces that seek to suppress our minds. But his lyrics don’t aim to divide or dismantle, they strive to uplift, fortify, and inspire. It’s a form of love, unbreakable and enduring.
His relentless energy, like his unyielding cadence, guides us toward a higher path. In a world teetering between insight and ignorance, Proklaim’s voice refuses to waver.
This is the essence of a champion.
Recorded at Pen Pushaz Studios and expertly mixed by Wojtek Majewski at Audio Art Namibia, “CELEBRATE” emerged from a uniquely organic creative process. Proklaim approached this track with a clear vision, crafting a mellow yet hard-hitting boom-bap piece layered with texture, energy, and grit. The foundation was built with raw lyricism, with verses laid down over a carefully selected instrumental, enhanced by subtle yet dynamic samples to bring the sound to life.
As Proklaim continues to refine his artistry, he remains deeply committed to rekindling the limitless creativity we all possessed as children. He sees music as a force not just for entertainment but for shaping perspectives and sparking deeper thought.
A proud representative of Windhoek, Namibia, Proklaim takes full control of his sound, both writing and performing his own material. His artistic direction is clear, melding insightful lyricism with rich, engaging soundscapes. For “CELEBRATE,” he sought to blend classic hip-hop storytelling with the infectious vibrancy of a West African-style Afrobeat instrumental. The result is a track that feels effortlessly uplifting, the kind of song that makes you want to drop the top on a convertible and just let loose.
The recording process itself was refreshingly fluid. Starting with a freestyle chorus and spontaneous ad-libs, Proklaim then meticulously crafted his verses, allowing the track to take shape naturally. His approach highlights not only his technical skill but also his instinct for capturing raw emotion and authenticity in the moment.
Beyond this single, Proklaim is continuously developing new material across various platforms, proving his dedication to expanding his creative reach. His philosophy is simple yet profound: hold on to the imagination you had as a child. With that mindset, he continues to carve his lane, using music as both a medium for expression and a catalyst for thought.
