St. Croix reggae star Kruziano is making power moves to further solidify his career as a global superstar.
News broke earlier this week that the artist, born Orlando Melendez Jr., will team up with award-winning American dancehall and reggae producer BL Tha Hook Slaya for a highly anticipated new track.
The song, titled “I’ll Be There for the Weekend,” will be released on all digital platforms on Memorial Day, May 22.
“Kruziano is an artist that I believe is going to do major things in 2026," producer BL Tha Hook Slaya shared.
"He has the versatility to be an extremely special artist,” he added.
BL Tha Hook Slaya is currently in St. Croix with Kruziano shooting the music video for the new single.
BL Tha Hook Slaya continues to earn rave reviews for his song “Hit the Strip,” which was featured in the five-time Oscar-winning film Anora. The film, directed by Sean Baker, grossed a record US$59 million worldwide on a US$6 million budget.
The producer followed that success with the release of “Draco” with Bounty Killer and “Let Em Know,” which he dedicated to his longtime friend Jah Cure on the WYFL Riddim.
Kruziano, who was nominated for Latin Caribbean Artist of the Year at the Caribbean Music Awards, recently performed at the St. Thomas Carnival. He is scheduled to appear in New York City later this month.
