"New York Raining" rapper Charles Hamilton recently released his full discography for free. Now the rapper is giving out something else for free, a freestyle. Hamilton raps for nearly 10 minutes straight on Shade 45.
HotNewHipHop captured Hamilton's on Shade 45 in New York. The "Correct" rapper has gone on a freestyle spree, rapping on the spot at various radio stations across the country, HotNewHipHop reported.
Hamilton showed no signs of stopping during his flow. Adjusting to the different beats, the rapper even stood up at one point when his on-the-spot-lyric called for it. At the end of his flow, he concluded with,
"Holy sh*t I just finished and I'm frozen." After receiving praise for completing "one hundred something bars," Hamilton chimed in, "I got more."
In a past interview with Pigeons and Planes, Hamilton shared his process in writing song "New York Raining" that features Rita Ora.
"I started off venting, and after I while I realized how I really feel about the woman that I'm talking to," he told Pigeons and Planes. "So I told her within three verses everything I felt. It's a real love song, a real love story."
The rapper also opened up about returning to the public eye following his public reveal of dealing with depression and addiction.
"It's an ultimate decision to share everything about your personal life," Hamilton said. "I made that decision a while ago. I'm not gonna hide anything. I don't feel like I have anything to hide, so now that I'm impacting the mainstream, I might as well as continue to be on that path. With good music comes a lot of pain, so I guess I want people to accept and respect what I'm offering. Hopefully they can learn from it.
