Tic Tac drops another one he calls TELL ME WHY... This one is more like a love story but talks about his love leaving him. Tell me why is to know why she wants to leave and if there is anything he can do to keep her... Nice groove and perfect hook for the story. I must say another classic afrobeat from yours truly; Tic Tac! Prod. by TurnMeUp... Enjoy, play it loud and share good music!!
