Risin to the throne yeah
Hittin all my goals
Did it all alone yeah" - On Our Own
Every rapper wants to be self-sufficient; to be able to say they did it on their own. This implies no middleman, cashing out big and building your worth through investments and networking. Goliath Cruz & Jovi Jov are two men that have accomplished this dream, through strong business ideas, worldwide networking, and perfection in the booth. The duos debut album "Self-Sufficient" is a masterful rendition of purpose for these LV dream chasers; composed with bars and flows that elicit a polished lifestyle and musical talent. Vegas is a money city. From a young age, these artists had to gamble and hustle; what drives this city is all they know. Taking that drive elsewhere has been the key to success for many Vegas talents, and Goliath Cruz and Jovi Jov are investing their assets into new extensive opportunities - and lots of (Gucci).
