Hehkuttaa (hehkutan, hehkutin, hehkuttanut) is hard to translate, but I'll try. (Please, feel free to share your translations in the comments.) This is what Google gave me when I searched for hehkuttaa:
- Amerikkalaislehti hehkuttaa Suomen euroviisuesitystä. - An American magazine praises Finland's performance in the Eurovision song contest.
- Justin Timberlaken tiimi hehkuttaa Suomea. - Justin Timberlake's crew talks about Finland with admiration and excitement.
- Tanskalainen supertähti hehkuttaa Anna Abreuta. - A Danish superstar thinks that Anna Abreu is amazing.
If you have something incredibly exciting to share with your friends, you can start with this expression:
- Nyt on ihan pakko hehkuttaa! - Now I absolutely must tell you something with excitement, pride and enthusiasm!

For the first three sentences for hehkuttaa, I think "to big up" works, though that's very colloquial English. I can't come up with a better translation for number 4 though!
