Charles Hamilton is many things, but he is never boring. About a week or so after the-boy-who-called-everything revealed he had cancer, Hamilton drops the (seemingly) appropriately titled single, All Alone. But if you were expecting an introspective, dark track from the versatile artist, expect to have your expectations shattered. The electro-synth production, courtesy of frequent collaborator Woody, gives the song a shiny, uptempo boost that’s a direct juxtaposition to the somber tone the title first implies. And while Charles’ lyrics are relatively melancholy, he delivers them in a sing-song, the upbeat instrumental and a rousing chorus on the back end keep the song at a cynical medium. The overall effect is somewhat like Eminem’s My Name Is, but Hamilton is no Shady, and Woody is no Dre, so as far as I’m concerned, All Alone is only somewhat intriguing. If the latest offering from one of hip-hop’s most enigmatic emcees grabs your interest, be sure to look out for his upcoming LP, My Heart, set to drop in 2011.

Ladies and gentle, allow me to introduce you to the best SONG Charles Hamilton has released in at least 2.5 years. Hamilton has always been about quantity over quality (seriously, how many unmixed mixtapes did we need on any given day?), but it seems as though he has finally turned the corner and is headed in the right musical direction.
Forget what you previously thought about the talented artist before this feature, embrace his work here and allow yourself to turn a new page.

really realy dig the joint. people tend to give CH a hard time over his choruses, but they usually are on point, and remind me a lot of the type of chorus 50 Cent would drop.
overall, this song is both catchy and mastered, two things that help CH. good job...and will we see more of Charles Hamilton soon? |

I'm in the Dan H. camp - this is the most easily accessible record he's ever made, but it's not what really draw me to his work. Still, good to see him (seemingly) doing well and getting back to making quality music.

WOW Charles!! BRAVO!! lol.... but seriously a great job from Charles. I really love this!! The production from Woody, is simply awesome. The chorus is fantastic, and the verses are very smooth, with a nice flow. This will be in rotation for a long time. A def Banger.

I really love this track! It's a deep introspective track, but it's also one that many people can relate too, and it handles the subject matter in an upbeat tone!
