From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wadsyaname" is a song by American rapper Nelly, released to the iTunes Store on August 22, 2007. It was supposed to be the first official single from his fifth studio album Brass Knuckles (2008), but Nelly later confirmed that the single will not make the album (however it is a bonus track featured as #16 on the UK and Japanese edition of Brass Knuckles).[1] It was replaced by "Party People". It is produced by Neff-U, and sampled the piano line from "All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo.[2][3] Nelly performed the single along with "Let It Go" at the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards.
