Proklaim's "Price of Love aka 4 The Game" isn't your typical love song. Dropped in December 2022, this track is a potent commentary on the current state of hip-hop, laced with hard-hitting lyrics and a driving beat.
The song opens with a call-out to rappers who lack work ethic, referencing Machiavelli's "Two Block Hustle" mentality. Proklaim emphasizes the importance of dedication and perseverance in a culture seemingly obsessed with shortcuts.
As the track unfolds, it delves deeper, critiquing the inauthenticity it sees in the industry. Lines like "can't tell if she's a rapper or stripper still" highlight a concern for artists prioritizing image over substance. Proklaim isn't afraid to point out the power structures at play, calling out labels and the manipulative tactics used to exploit young talent.
However, "Price of Love" isn't all cynicism. The chorus, with its chant of "Steady rolling with patience," offers a message of resilience. The lyrics urge listeners to stay true to themselves and their art, navigate the industry with a clear head, and find their own "price."
This track is a powerful reminder that hip-hop can still be a platform for social commentary. Proklaim's sharp observations and unwavering flow make "Price of Love" a thought-provoking listen for anyone who cares about the future of the genre.
