The Hamiltonization Process has begun. Yesterday, 20-year-old Harlem native Charles Hamilton debuted “Death of a Mixtape Rapper,” the first release in a series of eight online-only mixtapes. Signed by Interscope head honco Jimmy Iovine earlier this year, Charles’ exclusive mixtape series will act as a prelude to his major label debut at the top of next year.
Heralded by both industry professionals and the blogging world for his originality and eclectic uniqueness, Hamilton isn’t letting the hype surrounding his name change the way he approaches his work. Thankful for the opportunity he’s been granted, this Sonic The Hedgehog enthusiast refuses to work anything less than “27 hour days.”
Unlike most young musicians, Hamilton has a vision for the future of music. Not just his own music, but the entire music industry in general. “Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliament-Funkadelic, Incubus, Blues Traveler, Nine Inch Nails, Quincy Jones and John Tesh—that’s how I hear the future of music,” says Hamilton.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s DJ “Z,” Charles Hamilton steps inside the booth to discuss the meaning behind his alter-ego Sonic The Hedgehog, why a falling out with his mother helped him land his record deal, the advice he received from Kanye West and Eminem, and what Melissa Ford and Gloria Velez would say after one night alone in a recording studio.
