Recorded at the legendary Pen Pushaz Studios and mixed and mastered by Wojtek Majewski at Audio Art Namibia, “CALL” starts with the vibrant pips of horn before diving straight into a grooving hip hop sound driven by pounding beats, shimmering instrumentation and instantly catchy vocal hooks.
Progressing with Proklaim’s powerful rapped flows, the track casts a truly anthemic sound that’s at once energising and gripping from start to finish.
