How could you not dance like Charlie Brown and his squad when this sizzler plays?

One of the last things FirstKlaz did during the festive period in 2024 left his fans with a sparkling new collaborative track featuring his Hausa-speaking musical band, Iliya Entertainment Music. The exuberant and joyous Nigerian artist unleashed another on-brand hypnotic record about chopping on his raba. Based on the little I could pick up from the lyrics mixed with Yoruba, the Abuja-bred emerging star lets us know he is different from the pack and asserts that he could handle a vanilla nyash. What does the title of the song translate to or mean? An alhaji is a title given to a Muslim man who has completed the Hajj, a religious pilgrimage to Mecca — often used as a title of honour. 

FirstKlaz, our first digital magazine issue star covering GRUNGECAKE AFRICA, promoted the single with videos posted online of him and his guys dancing to the track. Here are a few examples.

I wish the lyrics were available on his Spotify profile, but maybe they will magically appear soon. To the artists reading this, adding lyrics is something to consider when you want to capture international audiences seriously. In any event, listen to the Ransom Beatz-produced banger more than once.
