Jah Teff preaches motivation with 'Money Grow Win'
Dancehall artiste Jah Teff’s ‘Money Grow Wing’ is an anthem of motivation that highlights the importance of hard work and dedication when trying to build wealth and carve out a better life for one's self.
With inspirational lyrics, catchy beats, and electrifying flows, the track encourages one to go all out in pursuit of money-making opportunities and success.
Both Nymron and Jah Teff deliver witty bars that reflect their ambition and determination to persevere.
“The inspiration behind this song is my belief that people don’t respect you until they see you winning, they jump on the bandwagon afterwards. When you’re down in the ghetto suffering, no one lends a helping hand, you have to figure it out on your own to escape the garrison,” the artiste, whose real name is Gary Johnson, said.
The song was self-produced by Johnson, who is also the chief executive officer of Updeh Music Production LLC.
“The reaction from the song since it dropped has been great, everyone loves the video and the energy behind the song…people are looking forward to my upcoming album now,” he added.
Johnson is a native of Montego Bay, St James. In 1987, his debut performance at the Great River Talent Show won him the best song award for the witty 'Tooth Ache'. The following year he won the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission Talent Show.
Moving to Kingston, he met Rodney Price, also known as Bounty Killer, and recorded his first single 'Exercise', released on the Scare Dem label.
Other career highlights include a 1993 Reggae Sumfest performance which led to a 1994 stint at the Ragga Muffin Bob Marley Day Festival in Long Beach, California, alongside acts such as Burning Spear, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Shaggy, and Anthony B.
In 2005, Kyle McDonald, co-bassist and vocalist Slightly Stoopid, produced his song 'See It No Other Way', featuring dancehall music legend Barrington Levy. The song can be found on Slightly Stoopid’s album 'Closer To The Sun'.
Jah Teff now lives in the United States and has completed an EP titled 'Pan A Knock' on his own Up Deh Music Productions label, which will be released soon.
“I am excited about the prospects for the EP,” he said.
The EP will include collaborations with Ed Robinson, Sweet Tea, and Baby Cris.
