It Takes a Village is a deeply personal and community-rooted album from the Duo “Jezus” Martinez, available now via Bandcamp. Built on honesty, lived experience, and collective memory, the project reflects the idea that growth, survival, and success are never solitary acts—they are shaped by family, friends, culture, and the environments that raise us.
Across the album, Martinez delivers grounded, reflective lyricism that feels both intimate and universal. His writing is direct yet thoughtful, touching on themes of perseverance, identity, accountability, and gratitude. Rather than glorifying excess, It Takes a Village focuses on real-life victories and setbacks, capturing the emotional weight of everyday struggle and the quiet strength found in unity.
