I know you must be surprised we are starting with a song that wouldn't catch your attention by merely looking at the tracklist of “The Prodigal” album by Mr P. I mean an album that has top Nigerian acts like Tiwa Savage, Simi, Teni and Wande Coal would easily pass as one to eventually turn out to be a classic and that's what Mr P delivered on this tune. He was passing across a message to his haters and what better way to get the attention of your haters than saying “Eh Lo” and in turn making them dance to your sound.
