KINGSTON, Jamaica – Roots singer Jahvillani urges his generation to ride the entrepreneur train on his latest song, Get Rich or Die Trying.
Produced by YGF Records, it was released in December.
“The song is really based on getting money, making a honest living. People think the youths dem lazy but a lot of us a try hard fi mek it,” he said.
Get Rich or Die Trying is Jahvillani’s latest project with YGF Records which is based in Ocho Rios, his hometown.
His previous singles, Gun a Bus’ and God And Dem were also produced by that label.

“It’s a mixture of dancehall, culture an’ even party. Wi listen to every type a music.”
Jahvillani had an encouraging 2015. He had a popular summer song in Mouth Badman, co-produced by YGF Records and the Street Platinum label out of Toronto, Canada.
