CIVIL - Proklaim (Rap) Next up, we’ve got Proklaim’s “Civil”, diving a bit more into the socially conscious. It’s another sweet spot for Proklaim, using his smooth rap flow to criticize the current state of the world. In “Civil”, he does so over a hypnotic afrobeat sound, flushed out by a piano progression and a sax riff that add an element of live band to the track. We also get Proklaim’s “sing along” style of hook—in “Civil” Proklaim encourages audience engagement with an infectious chorus of “heys” and “yays” that we can safely assume gets his live audience involved when performing. It’s yet another way Proklaim structures his music to deliver his analytical messages.
