Charles Hamilton recently released his song "New York Raining" with Rita Ora, and it was featured on the season finale of Fox hit show Empire. Now Hamilton is sharing his entire discography for free.
Hamilton publicly shared a folder that allows fans to download every last song of the artist's for free.
Hamilton tweeted the link to his downloadable folder of music saying "And here it is!" At the bottom of the list of songs was note, "This is everything I have. Enjoy!"
In an interview with Billboard, Hamilton claimed that "redemption season is upon us." The rapper revealed details of his tough past and how he dealt with mental illness.
"I wanted to commit career suicide, physical suicide, spiritual suicide — I didn't care anymore," Hamilton told Billboard. He described what it was like suffering from undiagnosed bipolar disorder. "I just didn't trust anybody. I didn't leave my house, I just made music all the time. I was fighting depression — I shut myself in."
Since his difficult past, Hamilton explained in an interview with DjBooth that while he hasn't outgrown anything, he is moving forward with music as his main focus.
"I haven't outgrown anything," Hamilton told DJBooth. "But before I was sharing something very personal to me, and this time around I'm focusing on the music as opposed to personal aspects of my life ... I was really just trying to fight depression the last time."
He also explained that his past experiences have helped shape the tone of his music.
"There's a way more serious tone with the music I'm making now," he explained. "I'm talking about love stories, social justice. I was sharing so much of my personal life before that I was cutting off the rest of the world. But this time around I'm paying attention to the world in general. I talk about police brutality on one song, defining what justice is."
