After seven, bi-weekly, mixtape releases, critically acclaimed debuting Interscope Records recording artist Charles Hamilton proudly brings his innovative cyber tour, “The Hamiltonization Process” to a close.
On Tuesday, December 9th, Charles Hamilton will release what he calls, “the everyday diary during the darkest period of my life,” Pink Lavalamp which is the final installment to “The Hamiltonization Process.”
The 15-track album was recorded between 2006 and 2007, before his recording deal with Interscope.

According to Charles, every story in every song on Pink Lavalamp relates back to Charles’ life or something he’s seen in life.
