After relocating from Nigeria to South Africa in search of growth and purpose, rising artist FeyoTheGenius returns with a bold new single titled “The Motion,” dropping July 17. Known for his raw lyricism and introspective sound, Feyo uses this track to document his current state of mind and the lessons learned along the way.
“Six months ago, I left everything behind and moved to a new city,” he says. “It’s not the first time I’ve started over, but this one’s been the toughest. Still, I’ve kept going—learning from the Ls, grateful for the Ws, and staying focused on my goals.” “The Motion” is a sonic reflection of that mindset. Produced by Clogz, the amapiano-influenced track blends soulful melodies with focused energy, giving listeners a glimpse into Feyo’s journey through change, resilience, and forward motion.
The idea for the song came during a night out in South Africa.

“I was at Drama with the gang, vibing to some authentic amapiano,” Feyo recalls. “I wondered what I’d sound like on a beat like that. I hit up Clogz that same night, and by the next day, he’d sent me a draft. It was tuff. We went back and forth and made it work.”
Both reflective and energizing, the track balances vulnerability with ambition. It also sets the tone for Feyo’s forthcoming EP, a project that will further explore his personal evolution and creative direction.
“The Motion” is more than just a single—it’s a statement from an artist finding his rhythm in unfamiliar territory and refusing to slow down.
