At long last, work is set to begin on a movie on the life and times of late hip-hop sensation, DaGrin, who died in his prime as result of injuries sustained from a car accident in 2010. The movie will be directed by cutting edge director Daniel Ademinokan, who directed blockbusters such as Guilty Pleasures and Bursting Out. At the time of his death, DaGrin's career was on a meteoric rise. He had just released his album CEO, which is received nominations for a stunning number of awards. Lyrically gifted, with an incredibly smooth flow delivered in a unique mixture of English and vernacular (Yoruba), he was a much sought after collaborator. He collaborated on tracks with an incredible number of artistes - 9ice, Omawumi, General Pype, Kenny St. Brown, Oritse Femi, Sossick, Konga, Sheyman, and many more. Auditions to find a fresh face who will play the actor in the movie are slated for February 5. Fans of the late rapper will be watching closely to see if the producers of the movie will do justice to the memory of the late star.
