Yardcore is the second and final studio album by Born Jamericans. The title track was released as single on CD and 12" vinyl, with several remixes.

"Yardcore" reached #8 on the U.S. Hot Rap Singles chart.[3] The album ranked #14 on Billboard's list of the best-selling reggae albums of 1997.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Washington Post praised the album, writing: "Jamericans work in the reggae dancehall tradition of growling deejay (Shine) and silky-smooth singer (Notch), and underneath is essential jeep music, with all the thuds and thumps of a dancehall-hip-hop fusion."[5]
