Nigerian rap star Olamide has revealed how the late Indigenous rapper, Dagrin, played a major role in shaping his music journey.
Speaking in a recent video broadcast, the YBNL boss said Dagrin’s style and legacy continue to influence him and many other rappers in Nigeria.
Olamide explained that he often listens to Dagrin’s iconic album ‘C.E.O’ whenever he faces writer’s block or needs inspiration.
In his words:
“Dagrin’s ‘C.E.O’ album is a timeless project. That’s the only rap album almost everybody in the South West can sing word for word. Dagrin influenced a lot of rappers, whenever we need motivation, we would go and listen to his album.”
Dagrin, who passed away in April 2010 after a fatal car accident, remains one of Nigeria’s most celebrated Indigenous rappers. His music gained even more popularity after his death, cementing his place as a legend in Nigerian hip-hop.
