“One Step” is a new uplifting hip-hop song by New York-based emcee Eli Brooklyn. The soulful, boom bap-influenced track features singer Paul Marz on the hook. It was written about optimistically dealing with life’s challenges and Eli’s introspective lyricism is quite reassuring.

“One Step” was recorded at Brooklyn Brewery Recording Studios and produced by the duo Enemies From Underground.
