Artist
Danzel Joel Silos (10 June 1997 β 25 February 2024), known mononymously as Bigidagoe (Surinamese slang for "big dog"), was a Dutch drill rapper. His rap style is characterized as a Dutch translation of American gangsta rap from the 1980s and 1990s. Danzel Joel Silos was born in Amsterdam on 10 June 1997. Bigidagoe's rap career began in 2014 when he released his debut single "Bodem" ("bottom"). A year later he appeared at a Zonamo Underground Spit session accompanying the Amsterdam rapper Sepa.[3] Bigidagoe's breakthrough came in 2018 when he performed in a 101Barz session with the rap formation Zone6 ("Holendrecht"). This rap formation, labeled as criminal by authorities, included JoeyAK, who, like Bigidagoe, came from the Amsterdam residential area of Holendrecht.[2][3][4] The bond between the two rappers was close and Bigidagoe was considered JoeyAK's right-hand man.[1] On 25 August 2020, Bigidagoe was shot in Amsterdam's Rivierenbuurt and was seriously injured. On 4 September 2020, he released the song 'Opp Blazen', in which he responded to the shooting. A music video was released for the song, set in a hospital. This videoclip quickly amassed over a million views on YouTube, leading other prominent rappers such as Mocromaniac, KA, and Mula B to remix the song. Due to this remix Bigidagoe became an established figure within the Dutch rap scene. In the early morning of 25 February 2024, Silos was shot at a party center on the Rhoneweg on the Westpoort business park in Am
