Remembering DA GRIN
Today we remember the demise of one of our high ranking soldiers in the Nigerian Hiphop industry, DA GRIN. Da Grin died on 22nd April,2010,a week after he was involved in an auto crash! Da Grin is best known for rapping fluently in Yoruba.His single "Pon Pon Pon" was a chart topper as well as his album "C.E.O". Da Grin released a track posthumously titled "If I Die". This spine-chilling joint was produced by Frenzy and released two days after his death. In that track,Da Grin's lyrics showed he knew his death was close. Today,REAL HIPHOP NAIJA remembers this one emcee too many! Rest In Peace Chief Executive Omoita. You are missed! |
