I don't want to say I told you so but |

The 20 year old emcee is one of the strangest cats you could possibly ever talk to. The kid from Harlem loves the color pink, his girlfriend Simone and Sonic the Hedgehog. I knew that he had a weird infatuation with the Sega character before the interview, but what I didn't know is that there was a reason behind it. Before I started my interview with Charles, I prepared myself for the strange things that I figured I would hear.
Although I was right about expecting to have a crazy interview, what I didn't expect was for him to be closer to normal than I thought. I would have never guessed that such a talented rapper, producer and musician would have ever had problems like figuring out where he was going to lay his head at night.
Charles Hamilton is definitely in a transition period in his career right now. He's running towards his goal of winning a Grammy while still trying to escape the comparisons to both Eminem and Lupe. With all of the hype and the buzz that we journalists and bloggers create, Mr. Hamilton has obviously been a very busy man of late. Besides doing this interview and free-styling with The Game and Kanye West, the lab-rat has been spending most of his time focusing on his music.
I could go on and on about how dope his lyrics are or how I think his self-produced beats are extremely underrated, but instead I'll let you find out for yourself. Without further ado, Blazinstreetz.com presents to you Charles Hamilton.
Blazinstreetz.com: Let's jump right into it. If I'm not mistaken your mix tape is dropping this week right?
Charles Hamilton: Yeah... me and DJ Skee just dropped a mix tape, a west coast version of the Green Lantern mix tape.
BS: Right.... I just peeped that joint on some blogs today. The DJ Skee one is made up of some of your older cuts though right?
CH: Yeah, kind of like the Green Lantern tape. I just been catching people up |
