Get his own lyrical score?
A musical like you've never seen for sure.
I like to pretend but this has to end, sir.
So, Hamilton is a Broadway play that seems to be blowing up big, It's a hip hop musical adapted from a biography of Alexander Hamilton. This may sound like an odd pairing but Hamilton was a man who grew up poor, made himself via the power of his writing and as the show creator puts it "had beef with every founding father" back in the times when duels to the death over your honor were socially acceptable.
An album was made with the broadway cast and if you have a spotify account you can listen to it for free (although you may have to do it on a desktop because listening to it in order is definitely required, and I think mobile apps only let free users listen on shuffle):
Spotify
It's also free if you're an Amazon Prime member:
Amazon
Otherwise It's probably for sale in everyway/where music is sold now.
A helpful companion for listening is up on genius.com, it has full lyrics for each song along with who's singing them as well as annotations by the show creator and people on the internet full of facts. Each song has a header that will usually set the stage, give historical fact or insight about the structure of the song, maybe even all of the above.
Lyrics
From left: Daveed Diggs (Lafeyette/Jefferson), Okieriete Onaodowan(Mulligan/Madison), Christopher Jackson(Washington), Leslie Odom, Jr.(Burr,sir), Jasmine Cephas Jones(Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds), Renée Elise Goldsberry(Angelica Schuyler), Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton), and Anthony Ramos(Laurens, Hamilton).

Yeah I've been humming those bits a lot lately.

also I am in the very early stages of prototyping a board game based on Hamilton
it's basically Spartacus with rap battles instead of miniature combat
I guess I should check it out, huh
The overlap between Hamilton and Seabury is so unbelievably good that I listen to it a lot

Also the little 'yeah' before Hamilton just starts laying into him makes me very happy

it wasn't as good as Hamilton
This is a solo performance of the opening song when it was written back in 2009
If you like this, it only gets better from there
Hercules mulligan comes in like, I don't know. 2 Chainz on a guest track
Yeah, I may have done a little looking into this as well for sometime next year.
Also, thanks Mr. G I totally forgot to actually include any music.
Steam

Soldiers black and white alike wonder if this really means freedom
Not. Yet.
then I noticed that the Marquis Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de Lafayette and now I gotta see it
(yes I remember the whole name by heart for my job)
Lafayette is a fuckin' BADASS in this
yeah, probably
every time i hear it i only hear the context in that my own father refuses to acknowledge my name no matter how many times i call him out
actually this fact isn't very fun but i felt like sharing it, it's a very powerful line to me anyway.
