Katt Williams Raps on Historic Track


Katt Williams, First Sunday, HBO: The Pimp Chronicles Pt.1, while preparing on Long Island for some television appearances and a Carnegie Hall performance, spent some time at Media Recording Studios.
Katt needed a studio with a seasoned producer in Hip Hop music, so he arranged to work with Steve Young.

Steve Young played a track for Katt that he had previously arranged for the pioneer of Reggae Gospel, Lester Lewis, "I Saw A Black Man In The White House".  Williams liked the hook so much that he recorded a rap for it right then and there, with Steve in the booth. The rest made history.

The track was posted on YouTube, on November 4th, it has received over 30,000+ views and has inspired several remixes.

The Single and downloads are available to order now at www.Isawablackmaninthewhitehouse.com.
