Charles Hamilton Dances For Band Of Outsiders

Haters, be forewarned: Your head very well may explode when you click on this video clip of Charles Hamilton dancing as a model for the spring/summer collection of Band of Outsiders. For the brand’s showing at September’s Fashion Week, founder (and former Hollywood agent) Scott Sternberg put together videos of Hamilton, Kirsten Dunst and Max Minghella prancing around while wearing his line of smartly detailed, slim-cut pieces.

In September, the videos played on giant screens with background music in the studio where Band of Outsiders presented their show; here, they are presented in raw form, minus the tunes. See below for Charles getting his Carlton Banks on, as well as a bonus vid of a surprisingly sexy Miss Dunst doing her own diddy bop. We’re scared to read the comments…

Yesterday, rookie New York MC Charles Hamilton leaked a song called “Windows Media Player,” and a lot of folks have been asking about a line where he mentions Complex:

“I don’t pose, I hate pose-urs/Except for one photoshoot/For Complex, what the heck was I supposed to do?/I had fun, acted mad young/I was flyer than the rest of ‘em, why am I addressing ‘em?”

What exactly is Charles talking about?…

Charles Hamilton’s New Green Lantern Mixtape

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to a young rapper/producer named Charles Hamilton, but we made one mistake. Contrary to what Pharrell himself told us, the Harlem native is not signed to Star Trak. It turns out that he’s signed to Interscope through his own label, Demevolist Music Group. Regardless of the label, Pharrell still gives the heavy co-sign: “The kid is the truth.”

Well now you can finally judge for yourself. Today, Charles’ new mixtape with DJ Green Lantern called Outside Looking was released. Listen to the streaming widget or download the whole mixtape below.

Meet Star Trak’s Charles Hamilton

What’s next for New York rap? These days, a lot of industry insiders are pointing towards 20-year-old Harlem native Charles Hamilton, who recently signed to Interscope through Pharrell’s Star Trak imprint.

The kid can rap his ass off, but he’s definitely on some left-field creativity shit with his self-produced, sample-based beats. His DJ Green Lantern mixtape Outside Lookin’ is on the way, and he recently debuted “Brooklyn Girls,” a tribute to fly females that flips a sample from KP & Envyi’s “Swing My Way.” Hear the song and watch a few videos of Charles below.
