JAY CRUZ ft. YOUNG STYLZZ - "OFF THE ISLAND"

[trillontop]

Jay Cruz, 21 years old born in brooklyn raised in Staten Island. Puerto Rican. First love was baseball, played all the way up to my junior year in college, and won the 2017 CUNY player of the year before I pursued my love and interest in making music after facing lots of struggles in Fredericksburg Virginia, the town that recruited me as there starting third basemen for the university of Mary Washington. #AthleteTurnedArtist 

"off the island" is a song speaking on my dreams and wants of making it off my hometown Staten Island. I linked up with a fellow class mate from east New York who goes by “young stylzz” to create this track. He speaks on “Rikers island” keeping the “island” concept alive and also about money and violence as well as I. A small insider on truly why I made the song is also because being from Staten Island, artist from the island have always been known to make a song commemorating the island, or wu tang, or where there from, where me on the other hand write about all the hate on the island, jealousy, and false love which made me speak on my wish to make it “off the island”
