Namibian hip-hop lyricist and songwriter Proklaim has unveiled his latest single CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1), a project that bridges cultures, histories, and sounds. With this release, Proklaim delivers more than music. He creates an experience that blends innovation, heritage, and global resonance.
Driven by a vision to inject high energy into his sound, Proklaim fuses the raw essence of boom bap with the infectious rhythm of South African Amapiano. The track is elevated by a striking sample from the legendary Shaka Zulu mini-series, paying homage to leadership, pride, and resilience that continue to define African culture. The result is a bold, forward-looking release that honors the past while carving out new space for the future of hip-hop.
“CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1) is about spontaneity and flow,” Proklaim explains. “For me, music is instinctual. It is about channeling what the beat evokes and letting that energy speak to people everywhere.”
Recorded at Pen Pushaz Studios and polished by Wojtek Majewski at Audio Art Namibia, the single reflects Proklaim’s dedication to progressive production and his belief in music as a universal language. His collaborative approach ensures both high-quality sound and a track that resonates across cultures.
This release follows the success of Kingz, his collaboration with Namibian artist Romi, which gained major traction on MTV Base. With influences from Bob Marley, Wu-Tang Clan, and Biggie, Proklaim’s artistry is rooted in storytelling that challenges, uplifts, and connects. His music transcends borders and embodies hip-hop’s true global spirit.
As Proklaim continues to expand his repertoire, CREEPIN/FURTHER (2 IN 1) positions him as one of the most exciting and forward-thinking voices in African hip-hop. For curators, tastemakers, and fans alike, this release is more than a single. It is a cultural statement that reminds us of the unifying power of music.
