What do you get when a black guy & a white man meet up? No, you don’t get Phonetic Composition; you get k-Drama & MC Till, two very dope up & coming emcees. These two emcees have joined up to give us a memorable project in Black Guy Meets White Man.

k-Drama and MC Till - Black Guy Meets White Man to say the least, this is a very upbeat & jazzy album that was made for people who love feel good music. That’s exactly what this album is: feel good music. The album quickly jumps off with the track “Oduyoye” featuring K’s girlfriend Charde Campbell. After asking Regis what this track meant & telling me that it meant nothing, I immediately got the impression that they were simply trying to have fun with this project, which is more than evident in this track. Another track that proves that this is all about fun is the aptly titled song “Feel Good Music.” It’s on this song that MC Till has a stuttering problem, and the music on the song is so good that it temporarily cures his stuttering problem for as long as the music is playing. What I love about the hook is that MC Till basically runs down a list of all the places where he’s rocked a show.

As you journey through this album, you find that it’s really about taking it to the good old days of hip-hop. One song that embodies this is the track “Back to the MC,” where the two reference many of the old school emcees, but then go on to say that Jesus Christ is the best emcee. This one has a very old school feel to it, and MC Till did a good job with the production on this track. Along the same lines is the track “Get High Music.” It’s on this song that the black guy & white man determine to move the crowd with their music as an alternative to getting high with drugs. Then they just give love to hip-hop with “Hip-Hop,” expressing how they came to put the music & genre into perspective after coming to Christ.

The two emcees also get serious on this album. The first song is “To Be or Not To Be” featuring fellow T.H.I.S. Click Records member Bracey. Here, MC Till & k-Drama talk about the loves in their lives and express the sincerity of their love. But one of the songs that speaks so much truth is the song “I Wanna Spend the Night.” This is a song by MC Till where he tells the story from his college days; he was in the dorm alone with a girl one evening & she wanted to sleep with him. The song goes on to give the details of how he escaped from that heated situation.

Overall, I really love the vibe of this project. MC Till & k-Drama did a great job bringing together their talents and producing a quality project. I admire the two for taking it back to the days of feel good music and just having fun on the mic, as that is the one thing that shines through above anything else. Their lyricism was crisp and the production was top notch. If you love feel good music, then this is the album for you. After my first listen, I was hooked!
