American Yard - One Day At A Time
Artist: American Yard
Producer: Minim (Co-Produced by Stevie English)
Album: Untitled Debut
Label: Konvict/SRC/Universal Motown
Imagine an international hit record—what sound springs to mind? If you ask me, a worldwide smash is something that would make good background music at a soccer game, accompanied by the voices of 100,000 screaming fans. If their latest single is any indication, American Yard are in agreement. On arena-ready banger One Day At A Time, USA representative Blewz, Britain’s Steve English, and Jamaica’s Stacy-Ann join forces to—you guessed it—take over the world! (”Of course!”) And what’s a global domination scheme without some powerful production? Minim and Steve English‘s amped-up instrumental fits the bill and then some, complete with a massive drumline and a chanting crowd. If you think the Yard have got what it takes to achieve global (and chart) supremacy, help them out by giving ODAAT the rotation it deserves, and watch for their as-yet untitled debut album to hit stores in late fall.

This is just some good music that anyone can get into. The production, although club ready, is kinda geared to cater to plenty of different tastes at once. I love the drums, its obviously highlight of the track. The singing was cool and the rapping was interesting, but the production is where it's at.

To be honest, I enjoyed this better than both BEP singles (settin myself up for some criticism here). It flowed so much more smoothly than Boom Boom Pow or I'mma Be. When I listen to a club hit (I'mma a lil too young to be hittin the clubs... but nevertheless I like the music) I love it when production is smooth and flowing, like it was on here. That sets the whole song up to have a great sound. I'll give it a 4, just because I'm so excited for summer and this has that vibe.

I feel a little disappointed cause the beginning is really hyped up but the singing kinda throws me off and switches the mood a bit...
2:00 - 2:16 is hot tho!! good effort i think |

of course you did GStan10 lol.
but see like XT13 said, the beginning gets u all hyped, just to lead into less-than-exciting verses. BOTH BEP songs get you hype all around... at least it did for me lol |

I'm confused
Is this really a classic? So many people are giving this 5 stars... and for what? the beat is amazing when these guys aren't singing. These verses are less than enthusiastic compared to the beat. I feel like BEP would be a better fit singing to this song. Just wasn't feelin this one. |

Great beat, great for the club. And yes this is "DJ" Booth.. so we have to take that into consideration. But the verses are mediocre and the singing gets a little repetitive to me... Trust me, I agree, it's good...but I wouldn't be so quick to throw out a Classic rating on this.

I don't know what Legimate Hip Hop INc. and BDF44 are talking about saying "One Day" isn't a great song. You have to understand that this is a international worldwide banger, not some local song that's going to get spins in one region. American Yard has 3 countries (USA, Jamaica, England) in one group so you have to understand this is world music you're listening to. I envision this song playing at the World Cup, NBA Finals, Super Bowl, Olympics, and other sporting events all over the world. AY is here to stay and "One Day At A Time" is a classic!

@BDF: You're right, it's disturbing how every time an AY song is featured, a bunch of AY soldiers (such as AmericanYard#1fan) who are never there for any other songs or ever at all, pop up like the site has a virus or something... -_-' it's really obvious and so fake!
The drums are so unfair... =) so unreasonable! You have no choice but love them! I co-sing Juanito's review. This is not something I'll be listenin all the time but... one day... at a proper time... ;) it can sound really powerful and inspiring. Like an anthem! |
