At a moment in hip-hop when most are taking the route of ego and grandiosity, Séhkou offers a refreshing change of pace with his latest offering, “Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset),” as a sanctuary that’s as scripture-soaked as it’s soulful and serene.
The first track from his new project, “Solus,” serves as a love letter not just to romantic love, but to a higher power in design. With gospel roots, poetic rap shaping, and spiritual intention uplifting, “Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset)” meditation in motion. Guided by the sacred verses of Proverbs and the Ruach (the spirit/breath of YAH), Séhkou meditates, welcomes, and worships.
The production, helmed by dreamlife and Seriouz Beats, envelopes you in a heady, cinematic aura reminiscent of the golden hour of a summer evening. It’s a smooth but never flat surface, billowy and whole without smothering. That pulsing beat feels light under the weighted mode of Séhkou’s voice, which is deliberate, weighted, and graceful. Every bar feels hand-carved, not hasty or hurried, but lingering in significance.
La’Keith Rashad contributes, a hymn of warmth and devotion that resounds like a prayer. His voice, with its angelic backing harmonies from Angelica Allen, shines a light on the song’s final verse in a way that is somehow both earthly and eternal. Their harmonies surround the message in light.
Séhkou depicts love not as a conquest, but as a covenant measured, intimate, and holy. His pen is drenched in metaphor but never runs out of heart. He welcomes you into a sanctuary where weakness is a virtue and scripture is not preached but lived.
In “Proverbs 5:18–19 (Sunset),” Séhkou has created an uncommon sort of track, one that says its piece quietly but stays loudly. Within just under four minutes, he can condense peace, passion, and purpose into a piece of art that is both timeless and contemporary. This is the beginning of something divine. Let the sun set on chaos. Let this song be your calm.
