If this guy is "sonic the hedgehog" then i guess you could say before i heard this mixtape i was "dr. robotnik." I'm finally starting to come around to the hype around this kid. His conversational freestyle offers an interesting way of listening to music, it feels like hes holding a one sided conversation with whom ever chooses to listen and subconsiously respond.
Hes original to say the least, boasting a "swaggerless swag." im almost positive that hes the first to flip sonic the hedgehog gameplay melodies and tones to create a quality mixtape. when you "enter the hedgehog" charles lets you know early that his "zone" is a unique one, that hes in it by himself and you are only being taken on a journey through it.
His flow is simple with complex content, and his i dont give a fuck persona lets him rap about basically anything he damn well pleases. his sonic personality, and pink clothing stems from the belief that "god is a woman, the color pink is the inside of a womans womb, therefore its the color of life, it takes a man to enter a woman in order to create life, thats how you know god is a woman because she had to create a man in order to enter her, to create a cirle of life, like sonic the hedgehog, cause life goes in a cirle, sonic the hedgehog lives in zones, and as long as he stays in a positive zone he will always win, sonic means sound, hedgehogs burry themselves underground, i'm sonic the hedgehog because i burry myself into sound and music" with an explanation like that you already know hes in a league of his own.
"i'm not a looser i just dont like winning, so i'm here to take over the game." With jimmy iovines (interscope records) check book paired with charles' originality give him a legit shot of doing such. his comfort in his own skin embody's what arists are all about, he puts himself on these videogame tracks and does it well.
On tracks like "ringtone rap" hamilton explains what gives him power, golden objects, in lou of golden rings, which make sonic be the hedgehog he is, charles perfers grammys. while perfecting his flow on mixtapes his lyrical prowess certainly guaratees his future "golden rings".
His swag is far from his fellow dipset/birdgang harlem natives, and this he knows. hes more concerned with the message of his music than his unkept style (a Harlem no no). his style meshes seemlessly on his tracks throughout the tape. he explores different flows and beats on the same tracks. it may seem as if its all just thrown together but with good reason and still manages to flow well.
His cover appearance on XXL proves to his haters that he's official. toted as 1/10 of the next generation of rap by xxl... he is agressively blunt and always speaking his mind.... Sonic the Hamilton is only another installment in his series of mixtales to reaffirm this belief. "Baby Sonic" prolly outlines best his character in life, how/why he got to where he is, and where he wants to go.
I wont interrupt the "happy ending," infact i hope its only the beginning of what could be a great career for this young lyricist.
