Zerrydl – Today Mp3 Download

By DJ Henrylight October 18th, 2025

“Today” is a standout track on Zerrydl‘s 2024 EP, War Wara Szn, offering a reflective and autobiographical moment amidst the project’s high-energy Afrobeats. Unlike the collaborative “Cash,” this track is a solo narrative, categorized primarily as Afrobeats/Street-Hop but infused with deep, emotional Afro-Life sensibilities.

The production, handled by Bussbrain, features a mid-tempo groove driven by a buoyant, yet slightly melancholic melody. The instrumental palette is relatively simple, allowing Zerrydl’s poignant lyrics to remain at the forefront. He employs his signature melodic flow to recount his challenging beginnings in Benin, painting a clear picture of poverty (“I’m just a broke boy from Benin, no chow, only salt and garri”) and struggle, including being embarrassed over unpaid school fees and walking long distances.

The track functions as a testimonial and a victory lap. The core message is one of gratitude and present enjoyment: “Now we don dey make money money, spend money and I’ll never give up.” Zerrydl contrasts his past hardships with his current success, celebrating the ability to “jaye today” (enjoy today) with a sense of earned relief. “Today” is an intimate, hard-hitting record that provides the essential context for the “wara wara” (hustle/craziness) Zerrydl documents across the rest of the EP. It’s a powerful record for listeners who appreciate the narrative behind the success.
