Emerging with a keen, fresh ear from Windhoek, Namibia, prolific and progressively resonant MC/producer Proklaim compiles two distinctly different yet remarkably cohesive songs into one powerful original the hip-hop energy surge, “CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1)”. Built on a bumpin’ boom bap-influenced beat and perfectly placed Amapiano grooves, Proklaim also samples from South Africa’s beloved mini-series ‘Shaka Zulu’, adding a layer of cultural weight and pride.
The result is a purposeful track that resonates whether you’re into South African club vibes or international hip-hop grit. From the very first second, the track grabs your ear with a gripping pulse. Proklaim steps in with crisp bars and smooth melodic flows, switching effortlessly between the two with confidence and intention. The sound remains clean, yet raw enough to preserve that underground edge. It’s a striking blend somewhere between conscious hip-hop and club energy that feels authentically Southern African. The songwriting plays its part in elevating the piece, with hardly any moment falling flat or missing its mark.
The choruses stand out as beautifully unforced, possibly even improvised rising organically from the beat itself. It’s unclear whether they were crafted separately or emerged through the moment, but that sense of spontaneity adds a rare kind of magic. There’s bravery in allowing the music to lead, and Proklaim embraces that fully. A nod goes to Wojtek Majewski and Audio Art Namibia, whose mixing and mastering offer a punchy, polished sound while preserving the track’s raw emotional intensity. For Proklaim, this release isn’t just about sound it’s about meaning. “CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1)” reflects his mission to move people not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. He’s reaching beyond the typical sonic experience to offer a cultural exchange built on intention, history, and fire. Whether you’re curating, discovering, or vibing, this is a release that demands your attention and invites your return.
