Da Grin was a very gifted rapper and musical artist whose ability to paint verbal pictures and share his reality with others was almost unmatched.
He was involved in a terrible accident on April 14, 2010 when his car ran into a cement truck. He had been in critical condition in the hospital, although unconfirmed reports first stated that his condition was not as serious as originally thought. His manager and close friends however confirmed that he had sustained serious injuries to his head, jaw and chest.
His death will definitely leave a void in the music scene. Considered by some to be the 50 Cent of the Nigerian music scene, he made rapping in Yoruba edgy and managed to pull elements of modern Nigerian life into his videos. Jamati Online mourns the passing of a true talent. Rest In Peace Da Grin, you will be sorely missed!
