DA GRIN

Fond Memories by Toscar Roberts

The passing on a soul is often heralded with memoirs and mournful reflections but what matters most is the legacy left behind and the impact on people met during this sorrowful sojourn in life. The main question should be WHAT WOULD YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR?


Have you taught about that? No? Yes?

The painful departure of Dapo Olaitan Olaonipekun a.k.a Da Grin (Rapper NuMero Uno) has brought wails and cries to some....and rejoice to some (HATERS) and funny enough business buzz to some (ALABA). 

Da Grin left an impact on lives in the form of  his Musical Legacy...Re-Birth of a Nu kind of Rap...9ja Rap!!!
 

I know it would inhuman to say we should not grieve but truthfully we should not grieve because there is a bit of Da Grin in all of us and we that are still alive means millions of Da Grin Alive....

I recall our first meeting...he would call me bros and I would b like.."guy its not who is bros but who affects life most.
He affected lives...he gave up comers the belief that nothing is impossible; it all requires consistency and originality.
DA GRIN YOU ARE DEARLY MISSED BUT YOU LIVE IN US ALL.....
Your laughter mostly would always ring in our memories cos it tickles and brings about a smile thereby adding a second to our life span...even in death u still impact on living souls... 

SO LONG THE KING OF 9JA RAP...SAFE JOURNEY...abeg get ready more wonderful joints for the day we'd come over to meet you and hopefully not part again....R.I.P!!!
