The 4-member band, named after Atlanta’s Hamilton Park Recreation Center, the spot where the members honed their vocal skills, spent vigorous hours learning their strengths and weaknesses as a group, and building camaraderie & teamwork on the basketball court, are on a mission to bring back “real” r&b love songs, , drawing comparisons to hometown platinum-selling groups 112, Jagged Edge and the 1990s group Jodeci.
The group is currently on The Scream tour alongside Mindless Behavior and Diggy Simmons and each of the four members of Hamilton Park brought along a set of their own special talents:
Royce P sings with undeniable conviction and passion, engaging listeners with his serious tone that beams from his eyes; Anthony bellows with hope, leading listeners into an optimistic retreat;
Mr. Marcus Lee speaks the truth with his soulful array of salacious words; and Chris Voice touches the heart with his silky, inspiring words.
I ganked the description above from Hamilton Park’s artist bio… but I promise you it’s true.
I had the pleasure of finding out up close & personal during lunch with the up & coming boy band a few days ago when they shocked me with an impromptu acapella serenade in the middle of Houston’s…

I’d like to officially thank Cannon Kent of Atlantic Records for introducing me to these talented young gentlemen!
I’m sure you’ll be hearing way more from them in the future.
In the meantime, listen to their remix to “Thing Called Us” ft. Jermaine Dupri and also check out a few more shots from the upcoming video for the song, which was shot by G. Visuals.
