In 2010 for the first time in over a decade in Japan a one on one clash called “Dead this time” against a sound called Rock Desire from Osaka was booked and was a big success and made a extremely strong impression. December 3, 2010 in Brooklyn NYC Yard Beat participated in Global Clash against King Addies, Super Sonic, Black Kat, and Rootsman. Yard Beats first time going to war in Germany was in 2011 for the clash called “Modern Warfare” in Berlin and took the trophy over “City Lock Sound” Berlin’s home team favorite.
Finishing off 2011 strong Yard Beat had an impressive showing at the “Brooklyn ShowDown – The Good The Bad The Ugly” clash becoming victorious over Blunt Posse from the Bronx and Black Blunt Sound out of Negril Jamaica.
Starting off 2012 sharp as a sword Yard Beat proved to be the better sound defeating Barrier Free in their hometown of Osaka in the clash called ” Who a di baddest Japanese Sound Killer”
For the second time in Europe, Yard Beat decided to participate for the biggest sound clash in Europe in 2013.
“War In The East ” in Enschede Holland against Kosmik Movements from Brooklyn NY and the veteran Sentinel Sound from Stuttgart Germany. June 2, 2012 Yard Beat returns to Brooklyn for one of the most controversial clashes yet against Justice from Jacksonville Florida and Orijahnal Vibes from Brooklyn.
Due to the confusion of last minute rule change in tune fi tune Orijahnal Vibes ended up the victor but more importantly Yard Beat Sound won over the clash fans letting them know
Yard Beat is still on top of the frontline.

In 2017, Yard Beat had decided to participate in the Boom Sound clash in Jamaica sponsored by Boon Energy Drink.
Yard Beat gave a strong impression for the first clash defeating Renaissance from Jamaica by locking off and took the next 2 clashes defeating Ruff Cut and Rebel Tone from Canada with creativity of their custom dubplates. At the final round, defeated one of the baddest active sound clash sound Bass Odyssey and became the 2017 Boom clash champion.
