Vershon – One Time

Vershon keeps his name in the dancehall conversation with “One Time, ” a straight-ahead single that fits the side of his catalog where emotion, street awareness, and romance all sit close together. He has long moved between conscious material and more party-ready records, and that range has helped make him a familiar voice from Kingston’s modern dancehall lane to wider Caribbean listeners.

The record comes through DJ Kunteh Records, a name that has been showing up steadily on reggae and dancehall releases in recent years. DJ Kunteh has been tied to a string of independent singles and projects, including work with other rising and established acts, so “One Time” lands as part of an active run rather than a one-off experiment. That context matters: this is the kind of production network that keeps current dancehall moving, especially outside the major-label system.

Vershon himself has built a reputation as a singer-deejay who can carry melody as easily as he can ride a riddim. Raised in Kingston and known for records that often pull from real-life struggle, love, and the realities of the street, he has never sounded like an artist interested in one narrow lane. That versatility is part of why a song like “One Time” makes sense for him.

The title suggests a fleeting moment, a request, or a decision made in the heat of the moment, and the track sits naturally in that emotional space. It reads like a song meant to move quickly but linger after the hook, with Vershon’s voice doing the heavy lifting over a contemporary dancehall frame. Released in 2026, it adds another chapter to an artist who still sounds comfortable balancing feeling and firmness on the same cut.
