When Da-Grin died, we all thought all was lost for the Yoruba rap scene. Even with the likes of Lord of Ajasa, Reminisce, and some under-G names, the industry felt Da-Grin's death more than any other, before or after. Shortly before this period, Olamide was already doing his thing, tho' very low on the scale of 1 to Da-Grin. His name was already "bubbling under".
From my own opinion, I think Da-Grin left a pretty big shoe to fill. Olamide on the other hand came through. He's been awesome. Hits after hits. features after features. Bangers after bangers. Mad punchlines here and there. Da-Grin left a pretty big shoe. True. But..........................
Methinks Olamide has surpassed Da-Grin's exploits. I know we all miss Da-Grin, I would give up a kidney to have him back, but come on, Olamide is the isssh. Ever since Eni Duro, he has never looked back.
2 albums to his name already. Madt freestyles. Sick punchlines. Great features and the whole package. Let's just kick aside our love for Da-Grin and be neutral on this.
I was a big fan. F#$k it, I AM a big fan of Da-Grin, I cried the day he died, I wondered who would pick up the torch of Yoruba rap. But alas! Outta nowhere, Olamide came along.
This is my take on the issue. I know this debate would not stop here, but this is my say.
On the scale of 1 to Olamide, I would give Da-Grin a 9. Thanks and God bless.
