Charles Hamilton - This Perfect Life (Album Review)

Charles Hamilton has had a controversial rise to fame since he start pumping out mixtapes back in 2006. Charles is unique in that he raps as well produces his own music. He mostly samples other songs to make his beats and sometimes gets criticized for doing so. I usually download his mixtapes for the simple fact that he is doing things differently. His mixtapes can range in quality, but lately I have only really liked a track or two from each because he can get carried away on some different shit. However, This Perfect Life (which has just gotten shelved), is miles better than his average mixtapes. It’s been in heavy rotation for a bout a week now. I cant get enough of it. The album is filled with strange concepts, personal honesty, and some very dynamic rapping. This album should also be evaluated from a production standpoint and from that angle it is what I always wanted from him. Charles uses his choppy sampling technique to perfection by sampling some classic tracks like Tom’s Diner. He raps tight the whole time and was dynamic throughout the album. He even showed that he can rap with an up-tempo style such as on All Alone and Baby. This album is very consistent and flows well all the way through. It definitely rejuvenated my interest in him. The standout tracks were Three Pound Bullet, Ghosts (sick sample), All Alone, Cable in the Classroom, Baby, Tears of Fire, and Rosado, 4.25/5.

Two 5-Stars Tracks From 2 of the Best Out

Wake up bitches, Wiz Khalifa is fire. He is really growing into his own persona. I see the How Fly Mixtape collabo with Curren$y as his turning point in finding his character. Now he is running with that shit and I am loving it.

Don’t forget to check out that new Curren$y album Jet Files either. Shit is fire and better than his first in my opinion. Sorry guys for the shortage of the reviews but we’re just too fucking busy.
