Quincy, IL - “Let your father and mother have joy, and let her who gave birth to you rejoice.” [Proverbs 23:25]

MotionPlus and A-F-R-O are at it again.

After collaborating on the critically acclaimed ‘FOCUS’ LP (2025), Illinois-based emcee MotionPlus ran it back with artist and producer A-F-R-O for the lead single from his upcoming EP, OMCL (Only Mothers Can Love).

Releasing across digital streaming platforms on June 20, 2025, OMCL is produced by Polished Arrow Music’s Nikkuu.

With classic boom bap production, OMCL is a record that focuses on hitting listeners with lyrics that result in a “stank-face” response. It is safe to say that MotionPlus and A-F-R-O nailed the bullseye on this one. The piano-driven track feels like an instant classic that will spark anticipation for the coming EP collaboration between MotionPlus and Nikkuu.

The collab EP, ‘Improper Decorum,’ releases on July 18, 2025, and is produced completely by Nikkuu.

OMCL is ready to be added to your playlist on your favorite music streaming service. Add it now!
