Bragging, boasting, bullshitting anyone who cares to listen, call it what you will, Nigerians are the "hot air" champions, and will freely admit it (if you ask). Nigerian musician/producer eLDee captures this fondness for empty puffery in Wash-wash, a humorous new single from his forthcoming album Undeniable (dropping early 2012).

Sample lyrics
huh, Im going to feature wyclef
jonathan dey pick my call himself
ooooh jay-z too dey ping me jor
i been dey follow messi play before
see me, i only fly first class
na me wey produce fimile for kas
this my new gbedu na him sure pass
ask my mom i came first in every class…in every class
Likely to put a dampener on all the bullshit? Not a chance.
Meanwhile, Today-today stands a good chance of becoming a newlyweds' favorite. It's written from the POV of the bridegroom whose singing to his bride and rejoicing in their union. We're not great romantics here at TIA, but this is a very danceable number, so definitely not for wedding receptions only.
