No background information is needed here—if you’re an avid follower of hip-hop with an Internet connection, you know all about Charles Hamilton.  Now, after 16 mixtapes and 12 Booth appearances, the Interscope signee is ready to kick off promotion for his debut studio album, This Perfect Life.  On the official lead single, Sonic relates his 4-minute, 14-second life story to Barbara Walters, detailing his birth in Cleveland, his troubled youth and drug experimentation in Harlem to his growth into a hip-hop buzzmaker under the mentorship of Demevolist founder Howard Burke.   In today’s music industry, an in-depth narrative may not be the most obvious choice for a first single, but the record should get him plenty of respect from true fans.  Thus, you can expect Barbara Walters to earn a coveted spot on our charts, and raise Booth anticipation for This Perfect Life‘s June 23rd release.

Haha, dude is always coming straight outta left field. Hamilton fell off my radar for a little bit, but it's good to hear something new, whether it be good or bad.

This was pretty lame in my opinion though, the wordplay was nuts but the production/chorus sounds like it was put together in about 10 minutes. Not bad for a mixtape cut but lookin for CH to go above and beyond.

This is pretty good as a first single not quite the hit appeal as Brooklyn Girls but hot nonetheless. The beat has a nice vibe and the chorus is pretty good. The verses are the highlight as Charles talks about his life with a nice flow. Overall this is pretty hot!

This is the opposite of the standard "catchy beats and shallow rappers" formula: the beat is artsy and eclectic and the rapper actually says something with a sick, expressive flow! This is good for an album intro!
Lots of people just want the formula though... :s

He definitely should have dropped a better lead single, but this was aight. The production was sub-par, but he flowed over it pretty well. The hook was only OK. Barely in rotation, but I know he can do better.

ya im really not feelin the beat even somethin that was dimmed down more so that his flow was almost the only thing cause he does flow like crazy on this....i think this is a good album track but i think the intro single needs to be somethin different this is like one of the tracks you hear on the album and are just like whoa for his flow anyway

I can't give it less than rotation because I love the flow and originality, but I'm still waiting for CH to come out wit some more listenable music. I mean, this is tight and the production is super original, I'm just waitin for that original beat that actuallysounds a bit more listenable and catchy. I'm not sayin he should sell out and make a radio jam, just a more catchy track wit an eclectic beat. (I think Window Media Player and The N Word were extremely original and eclectic, but still very listenable tracks from CH) Anyway the flow and concept is tight and the production is... interesting and solid.

Not a sin@le that will have stron@ mainstream play. This kat makes himself hard to like for some reason. He has plenty of talent never the less. I just wish I could feel him when he speaks.

This production is super fire. The sample was familiar. 2faced (The guy who produced "My Bus Ride Home") sampled it about 3 years ago. I really liked the vibe of this joint. The first half of the chorus is dope...that second part of it wasn't that great. But this is a solid joint. Common single material? No...but it's all about breaking the rules these days.

Dang...dude really loves Lacey...lol

Is that u Mr.Lame??? Where u Been???

Heres my story:

Just like cb Hamilton fell off my radar a bit too much...
Out of 12 booth appearances, ive only really liked (one dat stays with u) his 'Window Media Player' other than dat the Dude has taken Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" far too serious - to the left,to the left ...
For the time being im on the bench with Juanito waiting for Charles to come out wit some more listenable music... Now dont get me twisted all i want from CH is to step up and let the people hear the talent that he HAS in a bit more listenable and catchy form ... The End.

I really like ir 3 1/2 stars. Anyone knows the sample? Sounds like some latino song. CH can spit. It's just the fact that this Sonic talk and his attitude is kinda corny and arrogant sometimes. And I think he oversaturated the market with his 10 plus mixtapes

Sounds like he ripped this beat off limewire, and threw a well written song on it. Lyrics can't fix this one tho. 2 stars for trying

I quote Mrmag, this is quite boring. The music is good but it's too fragmented, discontinuous...he has done better songs!

I'm about to say something that will likely to get hated on. I've heard many Charles Hamilton songs and freestyles and compared to Mickey Factz and Asher Roth (who I don't particularly like), I don't think hes gonna do anything that will end up selling big numbers. He spits some hot lyrics, but thats really it. Its like a toned down lupe fiasco. I have a lot of hope for Charles, but time after time, I'm disappointed by his tracks.

This is hot, but I can see why its not for everyone. There is something about every Charles Hamilton cut that sounds unpolished. Its like he comes with a crazy beat, crazy lyrics, but its missing those touch ups that would make it accepted by the mainstream. I thought Interscope would do that, but its seems like they have let Charles do his thing, which Im happy with.

Seriously though, he should get someone to sing his hooks, cuz this ones kind of lame.

You cant mess with the lyrics and the beat tho. Fire.

I really like this track. I listen to a lot of charles and this is one of his better beats. Nice word play and deep lyrics. Not the best choice for a single because it wont get radio play, but its a nice track to add to an album

haven't really followed this dude, despite my internet connection and being an avid hip-hop fan. rhymes are tight, the beat really kills, but the hook is pretty lame. woulda been a banger

Yea... Macli said what I was tryna say. His vocals and production just need to be polished/touched up just a bit. Right now they've been soundin a lil too underground. Like, I dont kno, as if the equiptment he usin just aint quite the best. I also definitely agree wit the fact that he should get a hook singer; those two small things would make this track a banger for me.
