Celebrated disc jockey Neptune has explained why he respects and admires late rapper Dagrin in an interview on HipTV.
He stated that he was blown away by Dagrin’s impressive performance during a recording session.
Neptune recounted that Dagrin recorded his verse for their collaboration “123” in under 8 minutes.
“If there’s one artist I respect so much, it’s Da Grin. When we recorded the remix of ‘123’, he delivered his verse in 8 minutes,” Neptune said.
Dagrin was widely regarded as one of the most gifted rappers in Nigerian hip-hop, and his album “CEO” released in 2009, achieved significant commercial success, especially after his passing.
In a career that has spanned over 10 years, Neptune has become one of Nigeria’s most popular DJs, who has collaborated with many Afrobeats hitmakers, including Davido, Burna Boy, Omah Lay, and more.
In 2020, his hit song ‘Nobody’ featuring Mr. Eazi and Joeboy enjoyed huge success and won the Headies Awards for Song of the Year.
