This
April marks the second year anniversary of Dagrin’s death and to
commemorate this, Gini the director of his only solo video, pon pon pon,
is set to release an authoritative and informative documentary of the
young rapper’s life.
The
clip is over an hour long and combines both known and never-before-seen
clips and images of Dagrin. It contains interviews with most of the
persons that crossed the path of the young man and contributed to his
rise to fame in the Nigerian music industry. It is a real time
presentation that paints a perfect HD picture with excellent voice
narration and sequencing.
The
documentary seeks to further promote the works of the late rapper and
act as a reference point for upcoming acts. It also aims to put an end
to some of the mysteries which have surrounded the late young man’s
death.
Aptly
entitled,REMEMBERING DAGRIN, it comes under the auspices of Omoita
Entertainment, an outfit founded by Gini who was much more than just a
video director to Dagrin. “We were very good friends and he convinced me
on his dreams and plans for his career and the Nigerian entertainment
industry.
Dagrin
had plans of having his own crew made up of young artistes like him who
are struggling through various adversities to make their voices heard.
So OMOITA was created to also help artistes like him realize their
dreams and carry on the dreams he had for Misofunyin Entertainment,”
Gini said.
He
also added that the name, “OMOITA,” came from Dagrin who was popularly
known as the C.E.O (Chief Executive Omoita) which was the title of his
2009 sophomore album which contained the hit track, “Pon Pon Pon,” whose
video, Gini directed. “Dagrin made me popular in the industry and I
believe I owe him a duty to tell the real story behind some of his
struggles that I witnessed.
Not
many people knew that we were already in the process of shooting the
video of “Ghetto Dreams,” feat Sossick, the first track of the album, on
the day Dagrin died.”
Gini
whose real name is Abiodun Olayinka is a video director and Film Maker
who has done a number of notable works in the entertainment industry.
