"Charles Hicks (July 6, 1973 - December 18, 1993) a.k.a. Charizma was an MC from San José, California, USA. Charizma was 14 when he got his first taste forhip-hop, and he started rapping at high school talent shows. He was only 16 when he met 19-year old Chris Manak a.k.a. Peanut Butter Wolf in 1989. They became best friends and recorded several demos and live appearances. In 1990, they got signed to Disney-owned Hollywood Basics. Charizma & PB Wolf recorded enough tracks to release a LP. They soon got out of their deal, and the label folded. Charizma & PB Wolf were reaching new heights, but it was cut short as Charizma was shot dead in a mugging December 18, 1993."

Not an instrumental album, but the founder of Stones Throw certainly knows what he is doing on these beats.
RIP Charizma
It's sad that young hip hop talents die early. Tupac is a prime example, his music is still attractive to this day
