The Plea Riddim – Twelve 9 Records

Issued in 2017, The Plea Riddim from Twelve 9 Records is a dancehall set that was later grouped into the 2020 Riddims archive, with eight voiced cuts and an instrumental anchoring the project around a moody, reflective lane. The lineup brings together Darrio on Cry, Deep Jahi on Vision, Eesah on This World, G Whizz on Transform, Raytid with both the radio and explicit versions of It’s Over, Tatik on Tired Fi Hear It, and Vershon on Stole My Heart. Twelve 9’s contribution to the instrumental gives the release a clean backbone, and the 2017 date lines up with outside listings that place the core tracks on the March 17 issue. Vershon and Deep Jahi are the most prominent names here, but the full set feels like a compact showcase of the label’s melodic dancehall style.
