On the 22nd of April, we lost a Pacesetter who delivered back to back hits.
I know there are stories surrounding his music and death, and you can choose to believe unconfirmed rumors.
But I chose to see a confirmed star, lyricist, and genius entertainer!!

I remember my teenage years on Meiran streets. His click of friends left him after they made some yahoo bucks & mocked him for being an unserious dude rapping aimlessly. I’ll share his CDs in UI & my friends will laugh at how silly it was. He proved everyone wrong. #Dagrin10yrs

I still remember how my neighbor ran thru the street of underG devastated when Dagrin’s death was announced .
He was definitely the best in the indigenous rap game at the time.
