“AROUND” by the Namibian artist, Proklaim, showcases his astounding musical abilities as a solo artist. He portrays an introspective take to finding our purpose in life with the gut feeling that advances us in every stage of life.
Proklaim’s deep and thoughtful lyrics by Birungi Alexander Kiremire stand out in a genre that often prioritizes superficiality and materialism. The song is a refreshing reminder that hip-hop can be a tool to bring a change in society and dispel all the conflicts that surround it.
Driving his agenda forward with artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Tupac, Jay-Z, and Drake, giving him the get-go from an early age. Proklaim built “AROUND” with his rhythmic flow and consciously utilized the genre to carry a powerful message. The way he delivers the masterful lyricism is mostly what makes him more of a visionary though. He effortlessly moves from line to line showcasing his naturalistic rapping skills and weaving feelings with his words of wisdom.
He sings in the chorus: “Come around now/Cause it’s bound to be.” The simplistic chorus itself delivers the message of “Que sera sera” or “Whatever happens, happens.” You just do your own thing. And there’s nothing more motivating than simply shutting down that negative voice of ours and making the leap of faith.
On the other hand, the way he mixes genres and instrumentals with an advanced synth beat gives it a diverse, exotic, and rule-bending edge which really complements the lyrical context.
