ARTIST INTERVIEW: PROKLAIM

Prokalim - Babylon


1. Cru cru Proklaim, are you taking inspiration from legen

dary artists in order to complete your short afrobeat project?


I usually get the most inspiration just from hearing the vast amount of beats available online today. The amount of beat talent today and the variety of types is broader than it has ever been before. I'm always amazed at the amount of talent. A great beat stirs me to want to create songs.


2. Why "When they reminisce over you " by Pete Rock and CL.Smoothe moves you to tears everytime you listen to it?


That song may not always move me to tears but it does evoke a lot. It's the fantastic beat with the trumpet/saxophone sample and finally the story that CL Smoothe tells on the song. It's vivid it's personal it paints a clear picture and one can tell his sentiment.


3. In your opinion, what makes a "banger"? What do you think of comtemporary bangers in general with millions of views and plays... do you think they used to be more poetic and complex?


A banger needs a hot beat a hot rap cadence and a great chorus...all put together it's the energy the total song carries.


4) What college did you go to back in the day?


I actually don't sing /rap in the shower I'm usually in thought or just focused on the task of taking a shower. Not exciting lol


5. Do you rap in the shower? If yes, what songs?


I actually don't sing /rap in the shower I'm usually in thought or just focused on the task of taking a shower. Not exciting lol


6. What’s your favorite artist from the 90's?


Fav 90s artists..picking 1 is tough I can list 4 or five that really struck a chord...Big Punisher, Tupac, Lauryn hill and Nas..


7. What’s the best movie of all time about the Vietname War?


Best Vietnam war movie i can't say but the best war movie i saw was "Saving Private Ryan" ...it felt like the viewer was in the actual war ..and very cleverly filmed


8. What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music career?


Business


9. Have you listened to any record from 2024 yet?


I've listentened to a lot this year I enjoyed the album the Common did with Pete Rock it felt mature and didn't try follow trends it was true to the vibe both those artists are known for
