Jay Dillinger

Marlon W. also known as hip hop artist JDeezy is no stranger to beating the odds. His mother and father were hit by a school bus and resulted in him being born 2 months premature. At the time they said he had six months to live. The story didn't stop there. Jay Dillinger's parents were soon divorces after his birth. Growing up in a single parent household it seemed hard times were just a way of life. Instead of living the street life Marlon dove into football, music and academics. In middle school Jay was signed to an independent music label IWP under Warner Bro. While in high school Jay was in honor society, leading tackler of his team, Rivals top 100 Linebackers, and #2 overall athlete in the Nike Sparq camp. All though Marlon aka Jay Dillinger was a highly undersized linebacker only weighing 190 lbs and 5'10", his talents awarded him multiple scholarship offers to Oklahoma State, Baylor, Vanderbilt, and Texas Tech. Jay chose Texas Tech to continue his career as a football player. During college Marlon excelled in sports, music, and academics. Jay started his freshman year on special teams then later became the starter for 3 years as a linebacker. He received Honorable Mention twice and led the team in tackles for 2 years. While playing football and studying Industrial Engineering Jay Dillinger focused on becoming an upcoming artist. He opened for many hip hop shows throughout Texas. Such artists as Snoop Dog, Ying Yang Twins, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, DMX, Zero The Don, Schwayze, and Lil Flip just to name a few. After his senior year Jay Dillinger went on to play in the Canadian Football League for the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Soon his time as a football player ended. Jay was devastated at losing his passion for the sport. For a short period he hit rock bottom. Suffering from temporary depression he turned to music to get through the hard time.
