Few hip-hop artists are as mindful as Proklaim when it comes to using their platform to deliver positive messages. Proklaim has made a name for himself as one of the industry’s most inspirational emcees by always tackling social justice, equality, and human rights concerns in his songs.
With each new release, Proklaim finds creative ways to keep listeners engaged with his storytelling. His latest single “FOR YOU” is a new example of that, as the Afrobeats Infused track sees the rapper trading in his usual activist anthems for a soulful ode to love.
