Olamide Credits Dagrin’s Influence on Rap Career
Ace rapper Olamide has revealed the significant impact that the late indigenous rapper, Dagrin, had on his career and the broader rap community. In a recent video broadcast, the YBNL boss acknowledged that Dagrin inspired him and many other rappers.
Olamide shared that he often listens to Dagrin’s critically acclaimed album, ‘C.E.O’, to overcome writer’s block. He stated, “Dagrin’s ‘C.E.O’ album is a timeless project. That’s the only rap album almost everybody in the southwest can sing word for word. Dagrin influenced a lot of rappers, whenever we need motivation, we would go and listen to his album.”
Dagrin tragically died in an auto crash in April 2010, and his music gained even more popularity posthumously.
