LOVE HIGHWAY - Proklaim (Hiphop) Next up in our Proklaim double feature is “LOVE HIGHWAY”, an uptempo afrobeat number with a touch of latin and jazz influence. Serving as a contrast to parallel release “REASON 2 BELIEVE”, this one is quite dancey, with a 00s Top 40 crossover sensibility. It’s giving us Wyclef Jean, probably due to the “Hips Don’t Lie” horns that help drive the latin infused instrumental forward, not to mention that fun 80s gated snare transition. Usually on the social conscious tip, which don’t get us wrong, we love, it’s nice to get a pure hip winder from Proklaim. Now having had the pleasure to review six of Proklaim’s tracks, we think this is his most mainstream effort to date.
Best Lyric: “Dividends and coochie, everybody wants a little more.”
