Rising above the hip-hop scene of Africa with his cutting-edge wordplay and authoritative voice, Namibian emcee Proklaim offers a new roadmap to truth and justice on “Babylon. ” The song has Proklaim encouraging others to follow their own path, even if it is higher, and not compromise with the herd mentality when they are being pushed to do something else.
Coming from Windhoek, Proklaim has emerged as one of the most perceptive African hip-hop voices. Not only in his undeniably gifted rhyme schemes and songwriting, but in his utmost courage to address socio-political concerns directly with empowerment messages. Supported by a rich but menacing soundscape he helped to create with producer Wojtek Majewski, Proklaim’s thunderous bars on Babylon target repressive dominant powers of the past seeking to silence the people by covering up the truth.
In his brilliant writing, Proklaim inspires others to remain authentic to who they are, and to seek greater understanding despite the current wave being counter-productive. It is this emphasis on personal freedom and revealing truths that have been kept dark that has made Proklaim’s fans across the world seeking to tread in the light of truth. And with “Babylon,” this African hip-hop giant lights another torch for listeners to claim their freedom and find their inner compass in the face of demands to assimilate to a vacuous dogma.
