Séhkou's latest single, "Proverbs 30:4 (Obeisance)," is a blend of prayer and poetry. The song stretches forward like a solemn scroll, every bar bearing both the gravity of scripture and the meekness of a bowed head.
"Proverbs 30:4 (Obeisance)" is performance leached away, ego subtracted until there's silence, and the presence of something bigger. It's fine work by the producer, airy enough to allow words room to breathe, yet earthy enough to support the weight of Séhkou's pen. With layers of meaning folded into every line, it's not just worth a listen but a meditation. This isn't background music, it's deliberate, and for reflection, probably best heard alone, on headphones or in prayerful silence.
If "Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset)," an earlier release, rode a bit more on romance and sacred love, the gaze here is fully heavenward. It's a jarring transition, and it instantly establishes that Séhkou is not just an artist but a prophetic voice that blends scripture, poetry, and hip-hop into something I wouldn't call rare so much as extinct music that demands reverence, not attention.
For those who thirst for lyricism that questions the soul as much as it does the ear, "Proverbs 30:4 (Obeisance)" poses both a question and an answer. It's not a performance. It's not entertainment. An instant of repose, with rhythm, that sticks around well after the song's finished.
