巫裔说唱人第一语言是福建话！ 写歌叙述在新加坡挣扎的故事
“重温着小时候，我不曾后悔，怀念身旁守候，你的手拉紧我，还不懂该怎么回家……”
磁性带点苍伤所带出来的《振作》（Holding It Together），说唱着MC黑的亲身经历，更带出心中所藏着的无奈、苦楚、坚持和不服输。

MC黑，原名是Muhammad Shawal Bin Jumari，虽为巫裔，却是一名中文作词人，第一语文竟然是福建话，是典型的新加坡人。
“小黑”的父亲是巫裔，妈妈是华人。身为家中长子的他，也曾经有过无忧无虑的童年，然而在中学时期，就开始面对到“家家有本难念的经”这残酷的事实。家中考题接踵而来，酗酒、癌症、欠债、驱逐、外遇等事件，令他感到措手不及，无从面对。
然而，已成年的他发现到，其实这些问题并非只有他在面对，但是很多人都默默承受着，尤其是在冠状病毒疫情肆虐的这段期间，很多人更承受着难以想象的压力。
这不仅让他有所感触，这看似宽容的世界，其实还是有着阴暗面，而每个人都在为自己的未来、生活和理想，默默打拼奋斗着。

因此，在歌曲中，他以自叙的方式，讲述其亲身经历和家中问题，希望能让目前仍深陷困境的人们感到一丝温暖，有着“你们不孤单”，“我们都一样”这样的感受，传送正能量。
歌词中的“怀念”，一次次被提起，似乎就在提醒人们，以往的种种美好都是我们现在勇于面对种种挑战的力量，不要因为当前的困难就妥协下去。
其实这也并非MC黑的首张作品，他之前曾和两名同龄朋友布子恒（Tze）和刘文绮（Ruru）合作，在2008年成立音乐组合“Josey”，更在其中担任写词人和饶舌歌手。
