Hip Hop from Proklaim

Based in the Namibian capital of Windhoek, Proklaim is a talented hip hop artist on the rise. Originally born to Ugandan parents and growing up in Zambia, it was during his final year of University in Namibia where he started his music journey and began writing his own original rap songs.

Aside from his sonic pursuits, Proklaim balances his musical endeavours with other interests in his life. He runs his own business and is a keen athlete, having been obsessed with running and physical fitness since his teenage years, an interest that he’s intensified over recent years.

Having been passionate about hip hop music from an early age, he draws influence from artists such as the Wutang Clan, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Tupac Eminem, Big Pun, Jay-Z and many others when creating his own art. With an interest in socially conscious hip hop, Proklaim shuns the mainstream rap scene and instead sets his targets on meaningful lyricism that challenges social issues and conflicts.

A true champion of the sub-genre, Proklaim is fascinated by the style’s ability to allow a far reaching scope of lyrical content into a single verse or song. Working with Wojtek Majewski to engineer and mix his music, the artist now brings us his latest release with one of his new singles titled “No Doubt”.

Laying down his razor sharp flow over a snapping glitchy beat, he charges through his soulful lyrical writing on an energising sound that aims to deliver a timeless message that motivates his listeners. Continuing to go from strength-to-strength, with “No Doubt”, Proklaim drops another highly memorable conscious hip hop outing that confirms his talents as a writer as well as a rap vocalist.
