Skillibeng Joins JAE5 And J Hus For “TAKE NOBODY” On Restricted Soundtrack

Skillibeng continues to expand his international reach with “TAKE NOBODY,” a new collaboration with JAE5 and J Hus.

The track arrived on September 10, 2026. It also appears on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Restricted.

The collaboration connects Jamaican dancehall with the UK and wider African-influenced sounds that JAE5 has built his production career around.

For Skillibeng, the record adds another international placement to an increasingly diverse catalogue.

Skillibeng steps into a global collaboration

“TAKE NOBODY” brings together three distinct musical identities.

JAE5 handles the production. His sound often connects African rhythms with UK rap and other global influences.

J Hus brings his smooth, confident delivery to the record. Skillibeng then adds a sharper dancehall edge.

That contrast helps the song stand out.

J Hus moves through the record with his relaxed rhythmic style. Skillibeng brings more intensity and sharper vocal patterns.

Neither artist has to abandon his identity.

A darker sound for a sci-fi soundtrack

The production gives “TAKE NOBODY” a darker atmosphere.

Heavy low-end and spacious sections leave room for both artists to cut through the track. The arrangement also matches the tense world introduced in the music video.

The song focuses on survival, ambition and distrust.

Its central message revolves around moving forward without taking everyone along for the journey.

That idea fits naturally with the conflict shown in Restricted.

The video introduces the world of Restricted

The official video takes a cinematic approach.

It opens with a prologue that introduces the film’s dystopian setting.

In this world, some people are born with supernatural abilities. Humans respond by creating bionics to control them.

Authorities then implant chips at birth to suppress those abilities.

Those who remove their chips become known as the “D-Restricted.” Their rebellion creates a larger conflict between opposing groups.

The prologue then transitions into “TAKE NOBODY.”

That structure makes the video feel closer to a movie trailer than a traditional artist visual.

Why Skillibeng fits the record

Skillibeng’s voice gives the collaboration its strongest dancehall identity.

His delivery often relies on unusual rhythms, sharp phrasing and quick changes in cadence. Those qualities allow his vocals to work as part of the production itself.

That approach suits the darker atmosphere of “TAKE NOBODY.”

J Hus provides a smoother contrast. Skillibeng then pushes the energy in another direction.

JAE5 connects both approaches through the production.

The result feels like a deliberate meeting of different sounds rather than a forced genre crossover.

Another JAE5 connection

“TAKE NOBODY” also continues Skillibeng’s recent relationship with JAE5.

The two previously connected on “MINK SB,” which also featured Skepta and Lojay.

That record brought together UK rap, Afrobeats and Jamaican dancehall.

Skillibeng’s appearance on “MINK SB” showed how naturally his sound could fit into JAE5’s global production style.

“TAKE NOBODY” takes that connection into a different setting.

This time, Skillibeng appears alongside J Hus while the song also serves a cinematic purpose.

Skillibeng’s international lane continues to grow

Skillibeng has spent much of his career developing a sound that stands apart from traditional dancehall formulas.

That individuality has helped him connect with artists and producers outside Jamaica.

His collaborations now stretch across dancehall, hip-hop, Afrobeats and other international sounds.

“TAKE NOBODY” adds another example.

The difference here is the soundtrack placement.

A film can introduce music to listeners who may not normally seek out dancehall. Skillibeng therefore gets another opportunity to place his sound in front of an international audience.

Why the placement matters

The bigger story is not simply that Skillibeng appears on a song with J Hus.

It is the type of collaboration he continues to attract.

International producers can use Skillibeng’s voice without removing the Jamaican character that made him stand out in the first place.

JAE5 does exactly that on “TAKE NOBODY.”

Skillibeng does not sound like a UK rapper trying to fit into a British record. He sounds like a Jamaican dancehall artist operating inside a global production.

That distinction matters.

It shows how modern dancehall can travel without losing its identity.

A different kind of Skillibeng showcase

“TAKE NOBODY” gives Skillibeng another opportunity to show that his sound can work beyond a traditional dancehall setting.

J Hus brings the UK element. JAE5 provides the production bridge. The Restricted concept adds the cinematic layer.

Skillibeng supplies the Jamaican edge.

Together, the three create a record that sits between dancehall, UK rap and global sounds.

For Skillibeng, it is another step into the wider international space while keeping the qualities that made his music distinctive in the first place.
