To day Nigerian Remember late Dagrin

"Dagrin: “If I die, make you no cry for me”

By Olufemi Ajasa

It is now five years since the rap king, Dagrin died, yet his fame and name never
at any time disappeared in Nigeria’s rap game. Reminiscing on his death
reminded me of his bravery and guts in the use and commands of language
which he best displayed in his last song ‘If I die” .
In the chorus of this song, Grin as popularly called by some of his followers
clearly stated his abhorrence for pretentious tears and developed his verse to
tell of himself as a man who wanted his best and not self-pity.
Today, we celebrate him as a legend by obeying his lines:
“ If I die, if I die
Make you no cry for me
E jen simi, ejo kejen mi”
When the song was released shortly after his death , it triggered tremendous
controversy, went viral and was even perceived as diabolical due to its’
contextual coincidence with the talent’s death but one can’t ignore that this
same song gave the biggest succor to many of his fans who couldn’t bear his
demise at the said time.
Putting the records straight, it will be unfair to misconstrue Dagrin’s creativity for
diabolism as he is not the first artiste who did songs about the foreshadowing of
one’s death. Foreshadowing, is just a literary technique which involves the use of
indicative lines to set the stage for an event to unfold-Dagrin’s acclaimed mentor,
2pac Shakur had done something of this nature with songs like If I die tonight; I
wonder if Heaven goota a Ghetto etc.
Dagrin mastered his musical works and he will forever remain unforgotten for it;
his songs are trade-marked to sell both his brand and contents- From the
release of his first album, “Still on the Matter” to his second album, “Chief
Executive Omo-Ita, C.E.O”, he kept his head high and was unique among his
competitors.
He had massive hits during his lifetime and he took this glory on even at his exit
from Nigeria’s music scene with the track: “If I die”. He rocked parties with
tracks like, “ Mo lenu bi Pon, Pon”; ‘Efimile'; Kondo (Magic Stick), Swag among
others all sold out.
Do you remember that laughter signature, “A-haaaaaaa!” which always gives him
the majestic street entrance into any song he finds himself? This among other
techniques won him an ‘ocean-size’ kind of followers in his short reign in
stardom.
Some will love him in a way that you won’t help but ask why? I once criticized a
staunch Christ believer friend of mine who is also a fan of Dagrin, she was one
of those who effortlessly sing in and out every track done by or any which
featured the talented artiste. I asked her, “are you not aware this is a worldly
song?” she replied, “Forget it! I am a born again Christian but I can’t just resist
singing along the songs of Dagrin. He is deep, If singing him is wrong, please
accept it as my bad habit.” She said smiling.
This is just one out the thousands overwhelming compliments awaken on the lips
of the fan of this gifted artiste. More tributes are coming in, Dagrin lives on.

"I just listened to:
1 better ft vector 
2 mercies of the Lord ft dagrin 
3 pass you by ft by blackmagic 
4 Mr wicked man ft by erriga 
5 give thanks
6 tomorrow ft reminisce 
And I realise Oritse Femi is the actual nigeria best musical artist that people don't know"
"Coincidentally a musical icon died on same day as our Yoruba rap icon DAGRIN. What really shook me is that 99.9% of our media platforms in Nigeria "seemingly forgot". 
Painful isn't it? 
Same fate awaits us all....no matter the time or societal status we think we own. 
Gospel truth....I had been a supporter of DAGRIN in my own little way as a publicist....the bigger question is....When you make your grand exit....who would remember you? 
Wanna argue? Tell me the exact date, time and where the likes of Elvis Presley and Micheal Jackson passed on? 
Celebrity or Commoner....we all have one passage - Dust To Dust. Give honour to whom it's due. #LifeIsAMystery #TouchASoul #NobodyKnowsTomorrow"
