Jahvillani And Skippa Unite For “False Teeth” As YGF Records Celebrates 10 Years

Jamaican dancehall artists Jahvillani and Skippa are joining forces on “False Teeth,” a hard-hitting collaboration produced by Tevino Richards of YGF Records.

Released on August 28, the track arrives as part of the “YGF Turns 10” EP, which celebrates a decade of YGF Records operating in reggae and dancehall.

The collaboration also carries a strong St. Ann connection. Both Jahvillani and Skippa hail from the parish, making the record a link-up between two artists with different career paths but shared roots.

 

A collaboration that happened naturally

“False Teeth” was not the result of a long-planned collaboration.

Jahvillani and Skippa were in the studio listening through a selection of riddims when the production immediately caught their attention.

The two artists began exchanging ideas and vibing to the beat. Before long, they were recording the song.

That spontaneous approach helped shape the energy of the record. Instead of sounding heavily calculated, “False Teeth” feels direct and aggressive.

The production is built around heavy bass, sharp percussion and a hard dancehall bounce. Both artists use the riddim to deliver the gritty energy associated with their music.

Jahvillani brings experience

Jahvillani enters the collaboration with an established reputation in dancehall.

The St. Ann artist has built a recognizable identity through his gritty delivery and street-focused records. His catalogue includes songs such as “Clarks Pon Foot” and “Sunday To Sunday.”

His presence gives “False Teeth” an experienced voice while allowing him to operate alongside a younger generation of dancehall artists.

The collaboration also shows that Jahvillani continues to work within the current sound of the culture rather than staying tied to one era of dancehall.

Skippa continues his rise

For Skippa, “False Teeth” arrives during an important period in his career.

The young artist has been building serious momentum with his music and visuals. His breakout record “Hugo” has now passed 10 million views on YouTube, giving him one of the stronger recent visual milestones among emerging dancehall artists.

That momentum makes the collaboration with Jahvillani especially fitting.

Skippa brings a newer energy to the record, while Jahvillani provides the experience. Their contrasting styles help give “False Teeth” its character.

The St. Ann connection

The shared St. Ann background adds another layer to the collaboration.

Dancehall has often been shaped by artists representing specific communities and parishes. “False Teeth” allows two artists from the same parish to stand together on one record.

For producer Tevino Richards, that connection also fits the wider purpose of the YGF project.

Rather than focusing only on individual competition, the collaboration highlights what can happen when artists from the same community share a platform.

Tevino Richards leads the production

At the center of the record is Tevino Richards, the producer behind YGF Records.

Richards has spent the past decade building the label within Jamaica’s reggae and dancehall industry. “False Teeth” now becomes part of the label’s 10-year celebration.

The production also carries credits involving Crownboss Recordz, Scotty’s Muzik and BrownSpeed.

The track was mixed and mastered by Aliendary, helping give the record the heavy sound needed for dancehall playlists, DJs and sound systems.

The combination of strong low-end and fast percussion makes the riddim especially suited to loud playback.

A major moment for YGF Records

“False Teeth” carries extra importance because it appears on the “YGF Turns 10” EP.

Ten years is a significant milestone for an independent dancehall label. The project gives Richards an opportunity to look back at YGF’s run while continuing to work with artists who represent where the culture is heading.

Putting Jahvillani and Skippa together on the same record also creates a useful connection between established and emerging dancehall talent.

The official video brings the energy to the screen

The official “False Teeth” video premieres on September 5, bringing the song’s aggressive energy into a street-focused visual.

Directed by Banka of Bankroller Visuals, the video continues the director’s working relationship with Skippa. Banka previously directed the visuals for “Hugo.”

The video uses rapid cuts and gritty surroundings to match the attitude of the song.

Parts of the visual were filmed around residential communities, giving the video a raw setting that fits the record’s street-driven identity.

Rather than relying on an elaborate storyline, the visual focuses on Jahvillani, Skippa and the atmosphere surrounding the collaboration.

Jahvillani keeps the momentum moving

“False Teeth” also arrives alongside another Jahvillani release.

The artist has been using his birthday period to maintain his momentum, including the release of his solo track “Code Switch.”

That means “False Teeth” becomes part of a wider run for Jahvillani instead of an isolated collaboration.

For Skippa, meanwhile, the record adds another major collaboration to a growing catalogue as he continues building on the momentum from “Hugo.”

More than just another collaboration

“False Teeth” works because several stories come together on one record.

Jahvillani brings experience. Skippa represents the newer wave. Both artists share St. Ann roots. Tevino Richards brings the YGF Records platform.

The song also arrives at an important moment for the label.

As YGF Records celebrates 10 years, “False Teeth” provides a snapshot of where the label stands today: still rooted in dancehall culture while working with artists from different stages of the genre.

What started as two artists reacting to a riddim in the studio has now become one of the standout collaborations attached to the YGF anniversary project.
