Proklaim drops new track “Bad Ting”

Proklaim is the hip hop sensation hailing from the city of Windhoek in Namibia who’s become a compelling addition to the hip hop world. With Ugandan heritage and an upbringing in Zambia, Proklaim brings a unique perspective to his music, drawing inspiration from hip hop icons such as Wu-Tang Clan, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Tupac, Eminem, Big Pun and Jay-Z.

Debuting with “One Way” in 2018, Proklaim marked his entry with a distinct sound that earned global recognition, securing him a coveted spot on MTV Bass. In a genre often rife with superficial themes, Proklaim distinguished himself as an artist with a mission, instilling his music with profound and meaningful lyrics.

This year has seen Proklaim entering an exciting phase, releasing a series of impressive singles that showcased the evolution of his style. As he strides into the new year, he continues to venture on a musical adventure, blending influences from Afro beats, Amapiano and boom bap into his hip hop sound.

Bringing us his latest release, he shares the brand new single titled “Bad Ting,” an upbeat summer anthem recorded at Pen Pushaz Studio with mixed and mastering carried out at Audio Art Namibia. Cutting alternative hip hop with west African Afrobeats styles, Proklaim’s new track shimmers with smooth rhythm and catchy hooks.

First drawn to the instrumental track because of its uplifting feel, Proklaim transformed the music via his slick freestyled vocal delivery on the chorus then laid down his cutting-edge rapped flows in the verses. Hosting a joyous message of celebration, “Bad Ting” serves up good vibes via a buoyant sound.

Starting off with a soft haze of instrumental tones, Proklaim’s voice raises the energy as the mellow snap of the beat and grooving bass lines underpin a dreamy arrangement. Perfectly balancing lively vocal flow with an airy aesthetic, “Bad Ting” is the latest offering from a prolific artist who’s hit 2024 with blistering creativity.
