Proklaim releasing CALL
Windhoek’s Rising Star Blends Soulful Rhythms with Hard-Hitting Lyrics in His Latest Anthem
Proklaim, the talented solo hip-hop lyricist and songwriter from Windhoek, Namibia, has burst onto the music scene with his latest original single, “CALL,” showcasing a fresh take on the Boom Bap genre. Released on the 27th of October 2024, this track is a high-energy anthem that aims to create a feel-good vibe for listeners, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of traditional hip-hop soundscapes.
The Namibian artist’s dedication to crafting a unique sound is evident in every beat of “CALL.” Recorded at the renowned Pen Pushaz Studios in Namibia and mixed at Audio Art Namibia by Wojtek Majewski, the single demonstrates Proklaim’s innovative approach to music-making.
His creative process stands out, as he freestyled the melodic chorus before penning and recording the verses in quick succession, infusing the track with raw energy and authenticity rarely found in today’s over-produced rap scene.

“Proklaim’s ‘CALL’ is a testament to the evolving nature of hip-hop. His ability to blend the gritty essence of Boom Bap with contemporary production techniques creates a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. It’s the kind of track that would make legends like Nas and DJ Premier proud, while still appealing to fans of modern trap and UK rap.”
Proklaim’s journey in the music industry has been marked by steady growth and recognition. His previous single “Kingz,” featuring Namibian Music Award Winner Rapper Romi, caught the attention of MTV Base, signalling his potential to break into the global market. With “CALL,” he’s not only building on this momentum but also carving out a unique space for himself in the international hip-hop community.
The artist’s motto, “Stay true to intuition,” underpins his creative journey and musical essence. This philosophy shines through in “CALL,” where Proklaim’s authentic sound and soul-stirring lyrics captivate listeners from the first beat. His work stands as a bridge between the raw, unfiltered energy of gangsta rap and the introspective, poetic nature of conscious hip-hop, creating a sound that resonates with a wide audience.
As Proklaim continues to make waves in the industry, it’s clear that he’s not just another voice in the crowded hip-hop landscape. His unique perspective as a Namibian artist brings a fresh flavour to the global rap scene, challenging the dominance of US and UK rap while staying true to the roots of Boom Bap.
