Known for his rap-driven music, Kuraye is stepping outside of his usual genre to deliver a track that will surprise fans and showcase his versatility as an artist. Kuraye’s rise in the music industry came with his hit song "Friendzone," a collaboration with “Odumodublvck” and “Zilla Oaks”, which quickly became a fan favorite. For years, he has been in the Nigerian rap scene, known for his sharp lyricism and infectious energy.

Kuraye took a hiatus to prioritize family, embracing marriage and fatherhood. Now refreshed and inspired, he reemerges with a track that reflects his evolution—a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the joy of rediscovery.

"Feeling" is a smooth R&B record infused with highlife percussions. An adoration wrapped in a feel good mood that brings ease. “Feeling” is not a departure from Kuraye’s rap foundation but rather an exciting addition to his musical repertoire. As he explores Afropop grooves and soulful hooks, creating a sound both familiar and daringly new. Its upbeat tempo and candid storytelling capture Kuraye’s trademark authenticity, yet reveal a willingness to experiment—a balance that invites longtime fans and new listeners alike to dance, reflect, and connect.

For Kuraye, the song symbolizes artistic liberation. “Stepping away from music taught me to embrace growth,” he shares. “With ‘Feeling,’ I wanted to honor where I’ve been while exploring where I could go. It’s not about leaving rap behind—it’s about expanding my voice.”

This renewed energy stems partly from fatherhood, which he credits for grounding him: “My daughter reminded me why creativity matters. This track is for her and for anyone brave enough to reinvent themselves.”
