It’s been three years since Olaitan Olanipekun (Dagrin)
passed on in a ghastly motor accident in Lagos Nigeria, but his brand and music
refuse to die, especially in the indigenous Yoruba rap scene.
In 2010 he was
nominated for the Nigerian Entertainment Awards for Best Album (C.E.O.),
Hottest Single “Kondo”, Best Rap Act and Best Collaboration with vocals. His
album C.E.O. (Chief executive Omota) won the Hip hop World Award 2010 for best
rap album. From it came the singles “Pon Pon Pon”, and “Kondo”.
Posthumously
he won awards, movies about his life shot, and songs from more than a dozen
artistes to his name with numerous mix tapes by DJ..
Dagrin is still missed globally
