Throwback Thursday Presents: Charles Hamilton

It's unforgivable that I've never plugged Charles Hamilton on Plug Gods.  Arguably the best, most prolific mixtape rapper... well... ever.  Now that's a real fuckin bold statement... but I know a lot of very informed hip-hop heads that have made that argument and defended themselves eloquently.  I'll list his project list (mostly consisting of stuff between 2008 and 2011) after the jizza.  Now it would be lightweight ridiculous to turn you onto a specific project for Charles.  The producer/rapper has gotten his feet wet in a variety of ways.  But tabling that absurdity, I'll recommend my personal favorite: Well Isn't This Awkward.  Here are two tracks I'm especially with off the project... but please check out some more after the jump and on your own. Charles is a legend in his own right and has an incredible story (he was homeless, got socked on camera by his girl, mother was a severe drug addict, was signed by Interscope but then fucked over by them, he's obsessed with pink and people thought he was gay for a minute)... but I'll spare you more text. Press play civilian.
