Proklaim is taking us on a journey to the “PROMISED LAND” with his latest single released this May 21. But forget rolling hills and milk flowing like honey, this Promised Land is paved with hard beats and even harder truths.
The song rivets the speakers with a cinematic, theatrical intro that wouldn’t be out of place in a blockbuster trailer. Then, boom! The beat drops like a lyrical anvil, propelling Proklaim’s sharp, commanding flow into the forefront. His voice is a grainy force of nature, each word delivered with a passionate intensity.
There’s a distinct early 2000s vibe to “Promised Land,” like that of Kanye West’s early work and the golden age of J Dilla and 9th Wonder. The boom-bap beats are heavy, the music soulful and swirling above and Proklaim rides the groove like a seasoned veteran. He raps with relentless focus, his words flowing effortlessly and spitting fire with every line, portraying the imagery of the Cover Art featuring a warrior rising from the spoils of war.
Proklaim, known for tackling social issues and self-development themes, stays true to form here. His lyrics are introspective, digging deep into our existence and our lifestyles, urging us to analyze the world around us and carve our paths. It’s a call to action that’s both thought-provoking and undeniably empowering.
The man gets his beast mode from similarly powerful icons like Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Tupac, Jay Z and Nas. He has had enough inspiration to carve his style with raw power and introspective wisdom in his lyricism.
Get ready to be challenged by Proklaim’s mastery with his latest bop, “Promised Land.”
