On this day 22nd April in 2010, Nigerian Music industry lost a great star with a midas touch who has immortalized himself by etching his name on everyone's heart. His name was Da Grin.

Da Grin whose birth name was Oladapo Olaitan Olaonipekun and also known as Barack O'Grin, Lyrical Werre, Fi mi le Jo, was born on October 21, 1987. The " Omo Ogun" who grew up in lagos, gave up the the ghost after a horrendous car accident, at the age of 22 in LUTH, Lagos.

He set remarkable precedence for people like Olamide, Phyno and their ilks by thrilling a wide range of audiences across ethnic and religious boundaries with electrifying jamz. He took traditional rap to another level beyond the exosphere where only Olamide has been able to come close to. He deserves to be canonized in the music industry. He was defiant, lyrically assertive, resolute and undaunted
To commemorate this great Star, I would like us to drop our favorite lines and memories of him.

Mine is, "I know say heaven dey, God even dey, when you wan chop bread, na there you go know say oven dey

Barak O'grin still in our hearts
