Proklaim Creepin/Further – New Beats on the Pulse of Windhoek

Proklaim – One Voice That Knows Its Roots

When I hit play on Creepin/Further, it felt less like a single and more like a direct transmission from a studio somewhere in Windhoek. One of those places where walls remember lyrics and cables still smell like yesterday’s session. It lands as it is. Straightforward, but not empty. Just focused, poured straight into a mic and sealed with instinct. Sometimes that’s all I ask from a track.

Proklaim returns with something sharp and layered. Two tracks in one: Creepin pulses with that lean-forward urgency, a boom bap backbone swaying with Amapiano shoulders. Then we have Further rolls in slower, like a thinker who knows the punchline but waits until you’re listening close.

That part caught me off guard. The shift wasn’t planned, but it didn’t need to be. He gave the second half room – and it spoke. I didn’t overthink it. Just let it play out, and somehow it said more that way.

The Process? Fast. The Impact? Lingering.

Both tracks were built fast. However, that’s not a flaw – that’s the method. Proklaim bought the beats, wrote to them on impulse, and let the choruses come through as adlibs. He moved fast. Wrote it, recorded it, kept the feeling intact. The soul stayed in because the process stayed simple. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen. Because when you keep it simple, the real stuff shows up.

Mixed and mastered by Wojtek Majewski at Audio Art Namibia, the final product has that rugged shine. It feels like polished stone – kept its weight, kept its grain. And that matters. There’s rhythm in it, carried by weight and purpose you hear right away. There’s reflection in there, and ambition, and fire. I’ve always respected verses that leave space between the bars, and his verses leave space. That space says enough.

Proklaim Creepin/Further – Windhoek to the World

I didn’t need context. The track carried itself, wherever you’re listening from. There’s no need for translation when the intent is this loud. Loved the idea of using that Shaka Zulu sample – it pulled something ancestral into a track that already stood strong. I’ve heard Proklaim before – and each time I do, there’s a pulse behind the production, like he’s less interested in fame and more drawn to meaning – if this make sense.

He calls music the greatest tool to connect humans on this earth. I didn’t hear it as a tagline – it felt like the reason the whole track exists. Two songs, one vision: elevate the form, stay true to the message, and make something that speaks fluently in beat and breath.

Proklaim – Still On That Same Path, Just Louder

I’ve followed Proklaim’s path through Prosperity and JITTER. Both singles hit with different tones, but carried the same intention. Each one felt like a checkpoint, more than a detour. There’s a clear thread running through all of it, and that’s because you hear a voice still evolving, but never wandering.

Proklaim’s both a rapper and a vocalist, which already sets a different tone. Most artists lean into one, but he blends both without losing clarity. That alone takes years of listening, failing, testing – and you can hear that experience in how measured his bars are. I’ll keep following where his sound goes next. You can catch up or ride along – he’s on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify.
