Props goes to Stephen Miller for hooking this sample set up. The Pink Lavalamp by Charles Hamilton was released to the Internets on December 9, 2008 and was the last step in his Hamiltonization Process (releasing numerous mixtape to various blogs). This release was more of an album than a mixtape and was reportedly written while Charles was battling drug addiction.
It’s probably not a good time for Charles right now with him stealing the “Shinin’” track from Black Spade and Rhymesfest sonning him all over the net. I like (some of) his music even if he did steal the track and is allegedly using ghost producers.
The set flows smoothly and is a good listen. We’re missing two one sample listing…..but enjoy what we have. Links after the cut….
