“LSD” is a riveting rap song from Proklaim, a talented hip-hop artist, that is full of introspection and inspiration. Proklaim blends elements of soul and trap into his music for a style that is uniquely him. His quickly delivered lyrics and hypnotizing beats lay the groundwork for an impactful song that will let you groove along and feel good, while also prompting deeper emotions to come to the surface. Opening with some snippets from speeches that promote determination and self-reliance, like “they wanna see you win until you win,” “LSD” works to strengthen internal resolve, regardless of what the people around you may think of you.
“LSD” is built around a walking bass riff that repeats throughout the song. Using this as the backbone for the track allows Proklaim to use different rhythms and melodies on top of it to constantly surprise the listener without taking them out of the landscape of the track. Proklaim uses evolving internal rhymes and invigorating vocal rhythms to mesmerize the listener as he is rapping. With a more melodic chorus and outro, though, he offers contrast to those sections and a space for the listener to sink deeper into the sonics of the song.
With lyrics like “judge a man by the actions and the words said” and “I don’t wanna sit around and watch the way the time flies,” Proklaim offers words of wisdom and reveals his own perspective on life. With several references to his mother, you can tell his upbringing has shaped his core values, and he aims to live and spread them as best he can.
