Dancehall artiste Jah Teff’s ‘Money Grow Wing’ is an anthem of money motivation. This song highlights the importance of hard work and dedication when working to build wealth and to make a better life for oneself.
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 in hopes of achieving wealth and success.
“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 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.
The video was released in July, racking up thousands of views on Youtube.
Johnson is a native of Montego Bay, Jamaica. 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, receiving first prize from a distinguished panel of judges, including the honorable Portia Simpson, former Prime Minister of Jamaica.
Moving to Kingston, Jamaica, he met Rodney Basil Price, a/k/a Bounty Killer and recorded his first single “Exercise,” published on the Scare Dem label, which did well.
Other career highlights include a 1993 Reggae Sumfest performance which led to 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, Anthony B, and other reggae luminaries.
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 became an instant sensation and 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 this Fall.
“I am excited about the prospects for the EP,” he said.
The EP will include collaborations with Ed Robinson, Sweet Tea, and Baby Cris.
