DaGrin...my favourite Nigerian Rapper of all time.

Was like Notorious B.I.G. to me. Had the unmatched flow, lyrics and delivery.

I didn't know he died so young.

R.I.P. Wonder what he would have given if alive given his talents.

Before Olamide, there was Dagrin, and before Dagrin there was Lord of Ajasa. Time flies. I remember back in 2009-2010 when Dagrin was all over the place...killing features and dropping endless singles, and then he passed at the height of his career. R.I.P Dagrin.
