Charles Hamilton - Scorpion mp3


This young Sonic The Hedgehog-obsessed rapper from Harlem is one of Hip Hop's great hopes for 2009. With broad subject matter, an anti-thug rap approach and an impressive work-ethic (he's dropped two mixtapes in the last week!), not to mention he's got age on his side, those hopes seem to be in safe hands.

He shared the cover of The Fader this month (with Little Boots), and although the article spent too much time concentrating on Charles's Harlem-based peers and not enough on Hamilton himself, it's still a sign that his profile is heading in the right direction. He's a track from his 'Well Isn't This Awkward' mixtape (which centres on relationships, and was dropped in time for Valentines Day. Download HERE). It features a nice D'Angelo vocal sample, and a Mortal Kombat vocal introduction. You can't go wrong.
