Being in the works for a long time, ““Car Crash” wasn’t written with the purpose of breaking off solo” eaJ says. He elaborates “It was because I needed a festival song for Head In The Clouds. It went from being just a song to jump and have fun with the crowd on stage, to becoming my first ever real release“.

If you went to 88 Risings Head in the clouds, you saw th e love and dedication radiating from his fans. Despite being his first public performance in 2 years, this was all the proof eaJ needed to make this his first release. “There’s been so much that’s happened in my life the past few years, but the fans have really stayed strong and stuck by my side. I couldn’t believe it, “Car Crash” received a ton of pre-saves and we were trending worldwide, the support has been so strong. It means a lot to me. I think it’s important that my fans and I take a dive with this song and keep pushing forward together” eaJ says of the bond with his fans.

The music video is produced by premier lifestyle gaming brand 100 Thieves. The music video for “Car Crash” stars 100 Thieves Co-Owner Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter; along with 100 Thieves Creators and Twitch Streamers Kyedae and Will Neff.
