Logic's 'One Day' Music Video Is A Stark Portrayal Of Families Separated At The Border

Logic has never shied away from delivering important messages in his art. His latest video for "One Day" featuring Ryan Tedder features the story of two males who live vastly different lives.


The Andy Hines-directed visual starts by introducing viewers to an immigrant family member attempting to cross the border. Nevertheless, any time whenever they are captured their son is taken to a separate detention center and eventually fostered by a American family member. Because the video progresses, we visualize the boy go to high school, college, and just be fulfilling his dream of becoming a doctor.


In contrast, a Caucasian family member celebrates their son's birthday and over the course of the seven- minute visual, he is corrupted by anger, hatred, and prejudice. He eventually becomes a neo-Nazi who almost dies, as a result of his racism. The twist of the video pushes the two diverging storylines with each other in a unlikely way, nevertheless no spoilers here.


"One Day" features superb cameos from Michael Peña, Judy Reyes, and Luis Guzmán, who all turn in great performances. Logic and Ryan Tedder only make a brief appearance throughout the latter half of the video, although thankfully they plan to be performing their inspirational hit at the VMAs on Monday (August 20).


The 2018 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from Radio City Music Hall on Monday, August 20 at 9 p.M. ET/PT. Voting is currently open at vma.Mtv.Com!
