Dj GQ x Mr. Vegas – If We Had More Time

Mr. Vegas x DJ GQ’s “If We Had More Time” lands as a reflective dancehall love song, with the title doing a lot of the emotional heavy lifting. The record sits in that sweet spot Mr. Vegas has long made his own: melodic, direct, and built for listeners who want feeling without losing the groove. Vegas, born Clifford Smith in Kingston, came up in the late-’90s dancehall wave and turned himself into one of the genre’s most recognizable singjays, with a voice that can sound playful one minute and bruised the next. That range matters here, because a song like this asks for warmth as much as control.

DJ GQ’s name gives the release a producer-forward frame, and that fits his lane too. He’s known as a Miami-based DJ and selector who has spent years moving between reggae and hip hop spaces, keeping one foot in dancehall culture while working closely with established names. DJ GQ Worldwide is the imprint attached to the release, which suggests this is part of a broader push rather than a one-off upload.

“If We Had More Time” reads like a regret song dressed for the dancehall, with the kind of mid-tempo feel that leaves room for the vocal to sit up front. The emotional angle is simple but effective: the ache of a relationship interrupted before it could fully breathe. That kind of sentiment has always worked for Vegas, whose catalog has never been limited to party records alone. Here, the appeal is in the restraint. Rather than overloading the track, the song seems to trust melody, phrasing, and atmosphere to do the work. For listeners who follow Mr. Vegas beyond the classics, this is another reminder that he still knows how to make a tune feel lived-in.
