definition of "holla"

[kioshk]

I see this term used a lot here. I guess it's meant to be a form of "holler". And it always seems to be used towards the end of a sentence. But what exactly does it mean? Does its use implicitly ask for agreement?

It's like "hello" or "What's Up" or "How's it goin'" only in ebonics.

It's just a shout out. I didn't know it was ebonics, I thought it was Scots-Irish. But whatever. Don't read too much into it. It's just social noise really.
