It's no surprise. He was a conscious rapper whose lyrics touched social issues and were relatable across all ages.
He lives on through his music. RIP Lyrical Akogun.
And one IPOB guy asked me if Dagrin was
Olamide's driver?

I told him no, that Dagrin was Olamide's gate man.....Fool!

i cried when I heard about his death cry he was the definition of a badoo... Any other person wey dey form or call emself badoo na learner....

pm me n I'll give u names grin

Dagrin is Dagrin...and Badoo is Badoo. You can't call Dagrin badoo and vise versa. Their styles are different.

We are talking about setting standard.....Give it to Ajasa....Dagrin only followed the template.

Ajasa used English, pidgin and Yoruba so well lyrically that his hit single Otiya was no1 for many weeks.

The fact that there was a hit track before pon pon pon by Dagrin made it difficult to ignore the pacesetter. Otiya is evergreen.

Talking about taking it to another level...that's olamide cos he sings raps and gave us many hits

You don't know what you are saying.

Olamide sings, Dagrin doesn't.....so where is the template. Don't be sentimental because dagin is dead.

The first Yoruba rap hit tack is "Otiya" by Ajasa. That's standard.... and millions of you cannot take it away from him.

Keshi led in the journey of Africa players playing abroad, though they might surpass him in foreign honors ...still doesn't change the fact that he was the standard

When I heard the breaking news from STV screen news back then, I don't know when I started crying uncontrollable at that time, the guy lyrics was just too good to ignore.
Just listen to the likes of
Thank God ft Omowunmi
9ice - loni ni ft dagreen
Owo ati swagger ft cartiar, Terry Da rapman
Come back home ft PK
Champion remix - General pype, naeto C, sasha

I was traveling in PMT bus by June last year when the driver played Pon pon pon.. Almost every guy in the bus irrespective of tribe sang along. An Igbo girl between age 13-14 obviously captivated noticed that and she asked me..
"Uncle was Dagrin a good man?" I was lost in speech momentarily but I told her.
“Was Dagrin a good artiste, Yes"
"Was he a good man? That I can't tell.
RIP man. Your legacy lives on.
