Because I love you all, I have to introduce you to be my new found hip hop treasure. Well, he's not exactly new, to hip hop, that is. To this earth, maybe.
Imagine my shock it when I fond out that this new MC teasing my eardrumbs was none other than a 20 year old. Now normally I wouldn't post anything coming from the other 20 somethings out there (see soulja boy, bow wow, v.i.c.) , not cuz I hate it, I just don't think it "does" anything for me.
But low and behold---Charles Hamilton!!!
Have a taste....
This song alone confirms my instincts. This guy is great. After diligent research by me and my fellow addicts, we got constant hits about this man. He's slated as one of the next best things in hip hop and slates himself as "The Best Blogger Alive" (and I have to admit that his blog is pretty nice).
His latest mixtapes are successful attempts to get the word across. PAY ATTENTION TO CHARLES HAMILTON!! (See "Death of the Mixtape Rapper" and "And then they played Dilla")
This Harlem bred MC is not what you're used to. He rocks headphones as an accessory, takes on a Sonic the Hedgehog persona, wears button downs under t shirts, plays drumbs, boards, and guitar and has a strong affinity for the color pink. But this ain't no Camron shit. And its soooo not what we're used to. But we're flexible people and I believe in you. You can handle this guy.
Blessed with a profound wordplay mixed with a concious. CH is wise beyond his years and talented beyond this generation. His latest mixtape "And then they played Dilla" is officially mixtape crack. With songs that sound more like spoken word than anything else, CH is refreshing but not in the way we backpackers are used to. He enjoys boasting about receiving head and coming on faces (in as many different ways possible)but also speaks on the greed and flashiness (while most of their listeners struggle) that is ever prevelant in hip hop. CH admits to his contradictions and I even understand them. Cut dude some slack for 1.) being 20 and 2.) for being human. He is attempting to grow in a world that hinders him and attempting to express himself in a genre of music that can't help but label, categorize, and critisize if you don't fall into your place.
I believe in this one. Hence the long post. Enjoy and embrace Charles Hamilton. You can thank me later.
