Rapper and songwriter Proklaim is here to enlighten us again through his latest single, “BIENVENIDOS,” released on July 5. This track, a vibrant blend of salsa-inspired beats and smooth rap verses, is an ode to optimism, celebrating the present moment and trusting your intuition.
“BIENVENIDOS,” which translates to “welcome” in Spanish, sets a welcoming tone from the very first note. Shimmering guitar strums create a relaxed atmosphere, punctuated by a tapping beat that lays the foundation for the song’s infectious groove. The introduction of brass blasts injects a dose of funk, adding a touch of vintage swagger to the mix.
Proklaim steps into the spotlight with a catchy refrain that burrows into your head: “Find a way/We gotta make this work.” His voice, sharp, steady, and imbued with a sense of purpose, delivers verses that are both thoughtful and engaging. He raps about the importance of taking action, of harnessing the power of visualization to make our dreams a reality. The exotic beats and the laid-back guitar line provide the perfect backdrop for his message of encouragement.
“BIENVENIDOS” is a product of pure inspiration. Proklaim reveals that the song came together in a single session, with the lines flowing effortlessly from his mind. This sense of spontaneity is evident in the track’s energy, a feeling of unbridled creativity that is both infectious and uplifting.
Proklaim cites legends like Biggie, Fugees, Wu-Tang Clan, and Tupac as influences, a lineage that is evident in his flow and his lyrical prowess. But his palette extends beyond hip-hop, drawing inspiration from Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, getting soulful and global.
