Some artists make music that entertains. Others make music that demands to be heard. With LSD, released on January 16, 2025, Proklaim isn’t just making a track—he’s making a statement. Hailing from Windhoek, Namibia, Proklaim is an artist with a vision, using his music to craft narratives that challenge, provoke, and inspire. With razor-sharp lyricism, hypnotic production, and a beat that commands attention, LSD is a track that stands out—not just in the African hip-hop scene, but on a global scale.
Right from the jump, LSD pulls you into its sonic world. The beat, a head-nodding mix of booming 808s, eerie synths, and an addictive bassline, sets the perfect backdrop for Proklaim’s commanding flow. There’s a sense of urgency in his delivery, a fire in his voice that makes every bar hit with undeniable intensity. Mixed and mastered by Wojtek Majewski, the production is clean yet raw, balancing sharp clarity with a gritty underground energy that gives the song an edge.
Proklaim’s ability to blend storytelling with powerful messaging is what makes LSD so compelling. The song is more than just a collection of punchlines and rhymes—it’s a deep dive into the mind of an artist who refuses to conform. Inspired by a captivating baseline he stumbled upon while browsing beats online, Proklaim built the track into something that feels both spontaneous and meticulously crafted.
Lyrically, LSD is layered and thought-provoking, touching on themes of perception, reality, and the search for truth. It’s not a song about the drug—it’s about expanding the mind, seeing beyond the surface, and questioning the narratives fed to us. There’s a rebellious spirit in the track, a push against societal constraints and artistic limitations, making it a song that resonates beyond the music industry and into everyday life.
Recorded at Pen Pushaz Studios and finalized at Audio Art Namibia, LSD is a testament to the strength of independent artistry. Proklaim’s passion for hip-hop is undeniable, and he approaches the genre with the respect and dedication of someone who sees it as more than just music—but as a force for change. His belief in hip-hop’s power to spark conversations, challenge perspectives, and uplift voices is evident in every bar he spits.
As a Namibian artist making waves on the international scene, Proklaim represents the growing influence of African hip-hop on a global stage. His ability to merge cultural authenticity with universal themes makes his music accessible yet deeply personal, proving that great hip-hop knows no borders.
For those who crave lyricism with substance, LSD is a must-listen. It’s the kind of track that lingers in your mind long after the beat fades, urging you to hit repeat and dive deeper into its layers. Whether you’re a hip-hop purist, a fan of socially conscious music, or just someone looking for something fresh and original, LSD delivers on every level.
With this release, Proklaim solidifies his place as one of the most exciting voices in modern hip-hop.
