     Del Cruz (born March 13th, 1986 in Dalton, Georgia), is an American song writer and hip hop recording artist. As a child, his parents introduced him to many genres of music including oldies, classic rock, and reggae. Growing up, he was drawn to classic artists/groups such as The Manhattans, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, The Platters, Bill Withers, and The Chi-Lites just to name a few. The feeling that he got while listening to these artists was genuinely heartfelt. He was introduced to hip hop as a young teen and immediately fell in love with the art form. Not until recently did he attempt to seriously write and record any of his works. With the help of a fellow artist that inspired him, 1Reazn, he was able to finally record. His first mixtape titled “Both Sides of The Story” available at www.datpiff.com was welcomed with open arms from the hip hop community. With many hip hop inspirations to drive him such as Eminem, Joe Budden, Cunninlynguists, Aesop Rock, and Common, he’s driven to show his listeners that just like the oldies he listened to as a child along with his hip hop inspirations that his music is and will be genuinely heartfelt. He’s currently collaborating with a few solo artists and up and coming producer Q The Rebel to bring the hip hop community his second mixtape, “Both Sides of The Story Vol. 2”
