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’ andGod And Dem were also produced by that label.

The 21-year-old Jahvillani (given name Dujohn Edwards) has been recording since he left Ocho Rios High School. Influenced by Bounty Killer, Buju Banton and Sizzla, he said he is not limited to a particular sound.

“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.
