Recently got my hands on the new Charles "Jeezy" Hamilton track, Scorpion. It's the first track from his upcoming "Well Isn't This Awkward" mixtape. Story of my life.
Except I get the feeling that nothing Charles Hamilton has ever been involved in is awkward. He has this can't-touch-me flow that tells you he's cool without making him seem too cool. Hamilton's flow is the bridge between the kids smoking pot behind the school and the dorks playing tetris on their graphing calculators.
On first listen, Scorpion wasn't hitting me the way I'd like. But after a couple listens, the familiar CH reveals himself - smooth, confident (nay, cocky), and poised to do great things. Scorpion doesn't best my favorite Hamilton track, which is without a doubt Brooklyn Girls, but it does get me pumped to hear a whole disc of jams.
