"Voices..."

A thousand, thousand of 'em.

Rest In Peace Ozzy Osbourne.

I feel obligated to write RIP pieces when big artists die. Especially those who made a direct impact in my creative being. For example, being a rock star dad to Tomorrow and any other inbred seeds of mine. I was inspired by The Osbournes, as far as the ideal family life. It would've been Em, but that family portrait seemed too rocky.

As great as I feel my 2014 music is, it still wasn't all the way there. THE DELIVERY, being the reason why. I had all the boxes checked. Flow, production, mix (arguably), wordplay, content, ...even the singing took a jolt. I straight up FORGOT to delivery it all with ...my voice. My reason? I didn't believe anyone wanted to hear ANYTHING from me. It was pain, no doubt.

Well, I'm over it! As of now, 2024-25 (and potentially beyond) is my best year yet. From quirks to perks. Be on the lookout!

Once again, Rest In Peace Mr. Ozzy Osbourne.

I got it from here.

Uniformity reformed.

As you can see, I have a new uniform. Just like every franchise (nevertheless), there are many variations of said uniform. I'm basically giving Satan a chance to rest while I figure out how to live life without Sonic. Which is to say, I haven't been living right. 

Some can argue and say that Sonic wasn't around during The Pink Lavalamp, and that he is not a permanent fixture in my life. The same argument can be made about Rihanna. Well, TPL opened the door for me to be more verbal and liberal in my belief system, which privately included Sonic. Only those INTIMATELY close to me (read: girlfriends and BEST friends) knew what time it was when it came to Sonic and I. Had to be for Halo to find the original sample to Sonic, make a beat out of it, give it to Sciryl and BY CHANCE me overhearing it.

The power of the iPod.

Posted above is the live sessions from 7/19/2025. Yesterday's, basically.

Real ID shit...

Eventually, you have to upgrade to travel.

I was thinking about the past 20 years today. I really put my foot in my music... as well as my mouth. I claimed I would never use again, so long as I have StarChasers. I can honestly say that I broke that promise in 2017. I was "little child runnin' wild" back then, man. I felt First Access/Republic didn't care anymore, despite the love they had shown me in the beginning. I took SEVERAL creative backseats to people who were nowhere near as talented (or experienced) as I. I worked DAMNED hard at making my SOLO, SELF-PRODUCED music greater than The Lakes (that you're used to).

I don't wanna use again, man. I don't wanna have to make an audible diary about going down that rabbit hole. Please don't ask me for a Lavalamp. The Black one hurt. I didn't want to dig into my emotions for Jamarris and Toya. Sha-leik and I deaded our differences. My gay friend Chris is darker than can be mentioned in songs. It felt good to mention Sonic on Lavalamp-production, but I don't think it fits. I could be being tough on the album/myself. Still, I put my foot in my mouth, because I vowed to not sell myself to fall in love.

Baddie was living in Cleveland with me at that time.

Another toe in my mouth was the whole "me and another man will never get it on!". And I'm ashamed of it, despite the glory I received from it. Believe it or not. The guy was my gay friend Chris's boyfriend, ironically named Chris. He passed away a few years ago. His name was Chris Smith. My gay friend Chris's last name is Elston. I'll spare you the gory details, but you can figure it out. 

For all those in the lifestyle, make sure there are NO CONSEQUENCES before you continue. Innocence only goes so far in the fast life.

I've noticed that there is a bond between myself (Charles H., Jr.) and ALL CHRISTOPHERS. A fallen Christopher goes by the name of Chris. Just to put all Chrises in my life on notice. But yeah. Chris (...) is a huge supporter of me. He also is worthy of HIGH PRAISE AND ACCLAIM, for all that he (...) does. Everyone from Chris Jericho to Chris Rivera to Chris Lighty (RIP). Outside of Sciryl and Halo, my only comp is Chris.

Ask DJ Premier.

Again. I don't wanna use. There's nothing but ex-and-current junkies in my building. All waiting to burn some rock w me. I can't, y'all. I get depressed just lookin' at 'em. At least I did my dirt in private. Of course I would walk the streets high. But that's different from pullin' out a Pookie pipe in broad daylight and fuckin' around. The temptation is so great. But I know I am of a higher tier. Shit, they know it. They just wanna be around for the glory.

Unrelated, my FDA brothers (Yung Nate, Paris, Sha-leik) and I are cooking up a reunion tape of sorts. Through Black the Beast (Tyrone), I got back in touch with Swiss (JMeans). My favorite rapper of Demevolist (B/A was FIRE, but Swiss was more war ready). I was biased towards Show, because I had him under my wing. And Yung Nate is the twin, so it is what it is. Swiss was dead like my uncle. We had a pleasant conversation.

Well, the KFC is getting cold (they accept EBT now!), so I'ma wrap it up here. Just know that I identify myself as the very slapstick loser you've come to poke fun at. If you see me as a genius, let me know so I can make the proper adjustments.

Ya dig?

Thunder thoughts (from the toilet)

Much is on my mind. For starters, THANK YOU TO STARCHASERS, NEW AND OLD, FOR SUPPORTING #THEPROCESS! Hard work pays off, so I take no days off! I've been getting requests to put Normalcy on streaming. Normalcy was between #theprocess (written work, safe work environment) and #theexperience (unwritten work, dangerous work environment). As long as the difference is clear, you can expect it soon.

I myself feel my growth is being stunted, because I'm LIGHT-YEARS from where I was during the process and constantly evolving the experience. One can get spoiled by #theprocess and scoff at #theexperience. Which would piss me off. Again. So now, I'm rehearsing songs for an upcoming show and not creating. I only make beats on YouTube live now, on Fridays.

Where did all the money go? I had been borrowing BIG money from family, and I STILL have a block on my credit for a debt i incurred while on Interscope. Whatever big contract I'm working on will take care of that. So I payed back my Aunties and Uncles, bought drum sounds, a few subscription (to which I OD on until I don't have the money to pay for it), some wardrobe, house supplies, etc. So thank you, StarChasers, for prioritizing me. Safe to say, these are times we'll never forget.

Well, I'm off the toilet now, and I plan to rehearse for a few hours. I know y'all are sick of me claiming to have "inside knowledge" about The Illuminati, and waiting for the right time to drop some bombs. As it so turns out, I do. And the time is right. But while it would bring me layperson joy to expose the painful rites of passage that comes with being a member, I don't want some Johnny Come-Lately head ass nigga capitalizing on information they received from this blog. All you need to know is, God doesn't take this life and this world serious, AT ALL.

What will you do with this knowledge?

This is what a blog is for.

Dumb ass.

Fa ya earpiece dem...

It is not a rumor. It is not a tug at one's heart strings. It is not a cash grab (can't be, for legal reasons). 

The Hamiltonization Process is coming to all streaming platforms

July 4th, 2025

Not sure if "Death of.." and "Staff..." are gonna make the final paperwork. Too much paperwork, too confusing, not enough time. But "It's Charles Hamilton", "The L Word", "Sonic the Hamilton" and the like (maybe a few others; hint) are DEFINITELY going to hit streaming services on Independence Day.

Strange how that works.

Now. There has been MUCH speculation about my label status. Everything from "signing a surprise lifetime deal with JiO" to "fulfilling my contractual obligations with Republic by forming 3rd Eye Magic". All I can say is, NO ONE has made anything of the sort CLEAR TO ME. Whether it's in writing or telephonic correspondence. Listen, I WOULD LOVE to say Jimmy is in my life. But trouble is after him, and I'm kind of a form of limelight myself. If he needs to lay low, so be it. But from what my senses (the 5 normal, the 4 unlisted) tell me, he's around.

Sorry, Chris Rivera. Can't NOT crash out now.

Next subject:

What's after #TheProcess?

I dropped most of my Dr. Hamilton music on SoundCloud. Been getting good reactions so far. And on Live @ 12, I'be been working on CH music (literally, the artist name is CH in iTunes). But after The Hamiltonization Process leaves a crater in streaming, the next discography is The Rebirth of Charles Hamilton. Been a lot of talk about it, a lot of requests... beautiful things! And there are plans to put Hamilton Comma Charles, King Charles and Xarles music on streaming. The demand is there. Thank you. 

I haven't stopped. You just stopped paying attention.
