Some of Charles' best work is now available on streaming platforms. My Brain is Alive was recorded in 24 hours and not a single song is skippable. This is the single mixtape that comes closest to competing with The Pink Lavalamp.
My Brain is Alive
Well Isn't This Awkward is packed with pop rap samples of Rihanna songs. Presented in a movie motif, Charles is fully aware of the odd concept of this work. Regardless, this is another top five project from his vast discography.

38! That is an insane list for a mixtape. Hamilton kicks ass.
QUESTION --
I swear I read a book as an adolescent/ young adult in which the main character supposedly had LSD in his spine and had HPPD-like symptoms intermittently... if I am remembering correctly the book also had different mixtapes that the main character made throughout the book. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the book was called. Anyone know what I am talking about? I am a psychiatrist and am working on a presentation educating other providers on HPPD. I have been trying to think of portrayals (accurate or not) of HPPD in pop culture/ media as a way to help the presentation/ discussion . So if you can think of any other examples -- like specific songs, books, etcetera, please send them my way.
What a load
How about don't scratch players that were 40 goal scorers or exile them to 4th line eternity. Especially not when Okposo is still somehow suiting up.
Maybe when you're the worst 5v5 team in the league, and you have a generational talent on your team, the coach might need some of the blame.
Maybe changing the lines every 3 minutes and banishing skinner while the entire team struggles is the coaches fault.
Not that you guys needed to be told this, but Hamilton is a hack.
Also worth noting that Headie One is currently incarcerated for possession of a knife
Could be a BT, might not be. Mostly based off the hints, the joker stuff could he him playing, dropping a mixtape while we wait for the album. He’s done that before. I don’t think he’d be this playful if it’s just another single.
Silas also just tweeted some lyrics from Forever by Drake, Kanye, Wayne and Eminem, he tweeted “Dropped a mixtape that shit sounded like an album who’d of thought a country wide tour would be the outcome labels want my name beside an X like Malcolm everybody got a deal I did it without one😤😤😤😤”
I might be reaching, I dunno, it doesn’t seem unlikely to me at this point. Who the fuck knows
EDIT: if this is the case, it would make sense with the universe snippet, because ain’t no way something like that will be on No Pressure. We've also heard plenty of other snippets that sound too upbeat for the type of album NP is supposed to be. Might I add, he also tweeted out before COADM came out “this is why mixtapes are better” after complaining bout sample issues.
ALSO: this is around the same time he dropped BT2. Same month/week even. With the exact same gap in between (2 years) that was with BT1, and 2. It will be exactly 2 years since BT2 this Saturday.
Could all be a coincidence... but it’s logic, soo
Could be adding up 🤷🏼♂️
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Just thought of this. Sermon tweeted "Be Unpredictable" ages and ages ago, BT3 surprise release.. With a Joker themed opening skit, like the rick and morty one.
I saw woodys reaction to the tape on his live stream, but unless I missed it they never even brought it up on the show. I wanna hear what each of the hosts thought and I want the writer to break the references down for us.
