Proklaim ignites a sonic flame for liberty with his new single, “Babylon”
As a thought-provoking musical fire that demands attention from the first beat, “Babylon,” the latest single by Proklaim, stirs a bold and unapologetic anthem of rebellion that merges high-energy rap with progressive soundscapes. Right from the first beat, it’s clear that this track is different, seeking to tackle the struggle for liberty and truth in a world designed to suppress that often rewards conformity over authenticity.
The song’s intensity is amplified by an eclectic blend of influences, from the lyrical grit of Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan to the revolutionary spirit of Bob Marley. Yet, Proklaim doesn’t merely mimic his heroes; he has successfully carved out a distinct sound that’s all his own, layering his razor-sharp verses over an unorthodox yet irresistibly compelling musical backdrop.
One notable aspect of “Babylon” is using a Jamaican news report sample, contributing to the track’s authenticity. This incorporation effectively reinforces Proklaim’s message of resistance against societal constraints in a real-world struggle marginalized communities face that is impossible to ignore. His exceptional lyrical skills and unwavering commitment to the evolution of hip-hop are palpable in every verse of “Babylon,” characterized by a tight and purposeful flow that draws listeners into the track’s energy, making it impossible for his relentless delivery not to get complimented.
Recorded at Pen Pushaz Studios and expertly mixed and mastered at Audio Art Namibia by Wojtek Majewski, giving the production a crisply polished yet gritty edge. Every element has been meticulously crafted to support Proklaim’s vision with “Babylon,” he firmly establishes himself as a prominent voice for the voiceless, offering a seismic musical jolt while challenging conventional norms. This track is truly a force to be reckoned with in growing hip-hop discography.

“Black Woman Are Not Cheap” by Deportee is a hip-hop statement of respect and identity
Deportee returns with “Black Women Are Not Cheap,” a powerful and emotional single that is a hip-hop record with weight and purpose. The song is a tribute to Black women, but also speaks to the wider Black community about dignity, identity, and respect, built on a base of raw intention and social reflection.
It’s hip-hop from the ground up, steady percussion that keeps the message front and center. The beat complements a narrative that feels urgent and intimate. The lyrics of “Black Women Are Not Cheap” are inspired by a moment of discomfort and realization, inspired by a visual scene in popular media where the lack of identity reduced a woman to an objectified presence. That answer becomes the emotional spine of the song, recontextualizing frustration to make a larger statement about how Black women are viewed and valued.
Every line is a piece of a larger message that challenges harmful portrayals while reclaiming the narrative. What makes “Black Women Are Not Cheap” stand out is because it combines protest energy with musical control. It is a statement, a composition of observation, emotion, and cultural awareness. This release is a deeper dive into a scene often marked by surface-level themes, a reminder of hip-hop’s place as a voice for truth and reflection.
