The “Hamiltonization Process” is now 50% complete.  No, this isn’t a status report on another last-ditch plan by Congress to fix Wall Street. The “Process” is the mixtape marketing plan of Harlem emcee Charles Hamilton. By its end, the Interscope signee will have dropped 8 mixtapes—one every two weeks, each on a different blog—since September 2.

Last week’s release was It’s Charles Hamilton. As you can see, the kid loves Sonic (a bit too much but it’s a dope cover nonetheless). As for the tape, it’s Charles and dude can ramble-rap—and make sense—like few others. There’s even a love song to pornstar Lacey Duvalle (Ballhoneys anyone?).

If you’re unfamiliar with Hamilton, peep this freestyle from DJ Green Lantern’s Sirius broadcast a few moons ago. Download the latest mix here, folks (link courtesy of 2dopeboyz.com).

The process paces towards completion with next week’s installment, releasing on xclusiveszone.blogspot.com
