Charles Hamilton is back in the studio – now with the help of producer Omen.
Omen, a Harlem native who produced Drake and The-Dream’s “Shut It Down,” as well as Lil Wayne’s “Single,” spoke to Vibe about the young Brooklyn rapper.
“Charles’ focus right now is putting out really clever records, but joints that can bump in the club,” says Omen of the project. “As far as his pen game, Charles is a genius in his own right. His whole vibe is left-field and he’s one of the quickest artists I ever worked with. We did like 14 songs in two days. This might be the first time where he doesn’t really produce the bulk of the album. I think people will be really surprised… that dude has a lot of good joints lined up.”
Omen also spoke on Hamilton’s as-of-yet untitled album’s first single, which will be titled “Halla.” He hinted at a guest appearance on the track, saying, “I was hearing some talks about it featuring another artist that everyone knows and loves… and loves to hate.”
Currently, there is no timetable set for Charles Hamilton’s next album.
