From the streets of Windhoek, Namibia, Proklaim has arrived with “NOTHA 1 DOWN (MINI),” an exciting hip-hop banger and a powerful reminder that dynamic music doesn't always come from long runtimes. In the case of “NOTHA 1 DOWN (MINI),” raw urgency, style, sound, and charisma unite all into less than 2 minutes, making it an obvious hit for car trunks and social media.
Recorded at Pen Pushaz Studios in Windhoek, Namibia, and engineered by Wojtek Majewski, Audio Art Namibia, "NOTHA 1 DOWN (MINI) has captured the process of Freestyling." Proklaim purchased the beat, wrote his verse, and freestyled the hook, all in one go, allowing him to capture the rawest form of energy often found in high-grade hip-hop anthems. The production is heavy bass and funky drumming, which gives the music its punch that is "stadium music."
More than anything, “NOTHA 1 DOWN (MINI)” is about resilience, growth, and ambition. Lyrics such as "grow like interest" allow Proklaim to express not only who he is but also encourage listeners with their own growth. This is something we can all identify with, and Proklaim consciously engages the audience to develop in parallel to his own trajectory.
Short, sharp, and pointed, this track demonstrates Proklaim's ability to begrudgingly embrace modern channeling habits while retaining the authenticity that authentic fire brings to his music.
