In a recent video broadcast, Olamide opened up about how Dagrin’s music has been a source of inspiration for him, particularly when he’s facing writer’s block.
According to Olamide, Dagrin’s critically acclaimed album, ‘C.E.O’, is a masterpiece that has stood the test of time. He revealed that it’s the go-to album for many rappers in the south west, who can recite the lyrics word for word. “Dagrin’s ‘C.E.O’ album is a timeless project,” Olamide said. “That album is a motivation, whenever we need motivation, we would go and listen to his album.”
Dagrin’s untimely death in an auto crash in April 2010 was a shock to the music industry, but his legacy lives on through his music. In fact, his music gained even more popularity after his passing, and he remains an influential figure in Nigerian hip-hop.
