Olamide vs Da Grin: Who is the Godfather of rap in Nigeria?
The trending debate about the music industry in Nigeria is about rappers Da Grin and YBNL boss Olamide Adedeji.
Da Grin passed away in a car crash on November 15, 2010, after dropping his sophomore album, C.E.O. On April 22, 2010
Da Grin made it cool to listen to rap in our indigenous language and undoubtedly paved the way for other local rappers such as Phyno, Olamide and so on.
However when it comes to an a debate about their legacy, what is presentable is not what cpuld have been but what actually happened.
Maybe Da Grin would have dominated the Nigerian music industry with his unique vibe we would never know as his time was cut sh0ort. What we do know is that Olamide took on the responsiblity to continue Da Grin’s legacy and pushed it further than imaginable.
With seven albums o his name he is without a doubt, the greatest Nigerian rapper o all time. Case closed.
