“Hakeem Prime has taken on a new role as an activist in his local scene as a speaker for both the Enough Is Enough Movement and March For Our Lives – expanding his notability not just by getting behind the mic as a musician, but also by using his voice for important political issues, and for social good. The newly-released video for “Zodiac” holds visual power as a laid-back, reflective lifestyle backdrop for a track that carries a similar relaxed vibe. Produced by Zone, the instrumental is a laid-back R&B/trap-inspired beat that is heavily focused on sharp hi-hats and heavy snares. Above the instrumentals, Hakeem Prime shows notable control and strength in his varied vocal range, highlighted by the challenging melody he skillfully carries throughout the verses.” - Cole Holland, Respect My Region (Apr 27, 2018)
