Download: Jesse Boykins III – Island of Greatness

“Island of Greatness,” a soulful new track by Jesse Boykins III, reflects on the dedication and hard work required to succeed in any arena. The exclusive song, inspired by NSW’s Darrelle Revis: ALWAYS ON video, drips with tinkling keys and breezy guitar licks. “I’m climbing through the atmosphere / No one can stop me now,” Boykins sings. And he gets it. Just as Revis has found success in New York City, Boykins followed a similar path: the multitalented singer-songwriter-producer was born in Chicago and lived in Miami, but ultimately moved to Brooklyn to follow his dreams.

In the pass-happy world of professional football, lockdown cornerbacks like Darrelle Revis are the most prized of commodities. Here, in the latest Nike Sportswear “ALWAYS ON” video, viewers get a glimpse of the dedication it takes to earn the nickname “Revis Island”— his personal term for smothering a receiver in one-on-one coverage. We see Darrelle doing intricate footwork drills, batting down countless passes, and jogging through the tree-lined streets of New Jersey. And after working out to near exhaustion, he unwinds by playing drums and hitting the streets of New York City’s Lower East Side. The video is backed by the track “Island of Greatness,” by Jesse Boykins III.
