He’s rocked stages with icons like James Brown, B.B. King, The Jacksons, and The Five Stairsteps, and his pen has touched some of the biggest records of the last decade — from J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive to The Game’s The Documentary, with credits alongside Drake, Solange, Wiz Khalifa, Fabolous, and more.But Charles isn’t just about hits — he’s about heritage, heart, and evolution. Phire and Charles dive into it all in this episode.Mentioned in this episode:audio pm5 preroll female
