Dagrin Finds Succor

Things are finally looking bright for Nigeria’s number one Yoruba rapper, Olaitan Olanipekun, a.k.a Dagrin. After several years of hustling and struggling to make ends meet, succor has finally come his way.
It seems like yesterday when he started his career professionally under Leo Records. He has flows that make every music enthusiast believe that he has what it takes to hold his own. However due to lack of experience and improper management by Leo Records, he couldn’t attain the very much-deserved height before his contract expired and he called it quits with the label.
Things were not all rosy at that point which can rightly be described as the second phase of his career. He was ejected from his official residence by the label and he started hustling to make ends meet. When music was not paying his bills, fate left him with no choice but to join the boys who sell cell phones in Computer Village in Ikeja Lagos; popularly referred to as floor boys. Things were really hard for me during that period but I thank God for where I’m now. I thank Him for the gift of music”, he told Seun Apara.
After the successful release of his sophomore album titled the CEO (Chief Executive Omota) on his own record label, Misofunyintele Entertainment, things are finally looking brighter for the artiste. Eldyne Records, same label that signed DJ Zeez has offered a helping hand to the artiste.
The management of Eldyne Records informed Glitz Stage about the deal last week and from the way they sounded, they were very excited about it. “We’ve signed Dagrin. The guy is now with us”. Those were the words from the management of Eldyne Records in an emotional outburst. As if Dagrin too couldn’t wait to reveal the deal to Glitz Stage, he said with all confidence. “I have signed a management deal with Eldyne Records”, he said amidst smiles. It is widely hoped that this partnership will witness considerable progress in all ramifications for both parties.
