Press Release Summary: Working with Leading Social Media Network Imeem.com

Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA, September, 9 2008 -- Already
critically-acclaimed debuting Interscope recording artist, Charles Hamilton, joins
forces with the top hip-hop and urban music blogs on the web along with leading
social media network imeem.com, to create “The Hamiltonization Process.” “The
Hamiltonization Process” is a 3-month, 8-site tour that begins on Tuesday, September
2nd on okayplayer.com and ends on Tuesday, December 9th on onsmash.com. An
insightful trailer for “The Hamiltonization Process” can be viewed at
www.iamnotcharleshamilton.com.

“The Hamiltonization Process” is designed to demonstrate Charles Hamilton’s prolific
musical talent as well as showcase his versatility and creativity. The tour will
travel in cyberspace instead of the conventional on-the-road style of touring in an
effort to reach close to two (2) million unique visitors combined instead of
thousands potentially going city to city. New music from Charles Hamilton will be
premiered exclusively on each site for two weeks using embedded imeem playlists to
give the listener a steady flow of what’s new with Charles Hamilton. After the two
weeks the music will be circulated to the other participants of the tour. Fans can
use imeem’s embeddable widgets to stream Charles Hamilton’s playlists on their own
blogs and social networking profiles.

The new music for the tour will be provided by DJ Skee, Charles Hamilton’s official
DJ, who will mix and present the music to the participants. In addition to new music
being released, Charles Hamilton will provide the visitor a peak into his daily
life.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Charles Hamilton was exposed to music at an early age. \"My
mother was an entertainment journalist for the Cleveland Call and Post, so she would
take me with her to events when I was just a baby.\" His mother always made sure he
had an instrument around him. She put different kinds of instruments in the basement
of their Cleveland home, but he naturally gravitated to the keyboard. \"At first, I
was just playing the rhythm of the songs I would hear,\" says Hamilton. \"The older I
got, the more proficient I got at hearing the notes.\" For most of his life, he was
self taught, picking up the lead and bass guitar in his teenage years, as well as
the drums and harmonica. He says listening to other genres of music, being exposed
to different cultures and experiencing life helped mold his musical sound.

His upcoming debut solo album will illustrate his ideas for the future of music. \"It
is, without question, a hip-hop album,\" says Hamilton. \"At the same time, I embody
different genres of music to express different feelings and emotions that I feel in
my everyday life. My music is ALWAYS based on my life. My happiness, my sins, my
heartbreak, my anger, my quirkiness, my everything is given in my music. The music I
grew up listening to told a story. So I\'m taking the music I grew up with, as well
as my story, AS WELL as my musicianship, to bring about a new sound. I don\'t want to
sound redundant and talk about myself all the time, but I hope my story can help
someone else\'s life. If my life were to be a movie, it would be the Antoine Fisher
story all over again, but with a killer soundtrack and without a military
background.\"

Early praise on Charles Hamilton:

XXL : Charles Hamilton “is not a typical rapper…”
LA Times: “Hamilton’s progressive production style, mixed with witty compound
punchline raps, is earning him a following in the music industry.”
The Source: \"The label doesn\'t want me to change and I\'m honored that they want me
to continue doing what I do and just polish it\"
The Fader: \"I\'m more of a blogger than a rapper and just a musician who just happens
to rap\"
