Make every word count. This has long been the mantra of Hoodie Allen, theNew Yorkbased rapper and songwriter. With a penchant for candid storytelling and witty punchlines, Hoodie has always been an emcee who understood the importance of connecting with the audience through his lyrics. A purveyor of summertime anthems, Hoodie Allen has gained notable buzz on the internet for his unique genre-blending style, unafraid to sample from unconventional sources. His most recent work samples a diverse array of artists and sounds fromUKpop singers (Marina & The Diamonds & Eliza Doolittle) to indie rock staples and upstarts (Death Cab for Cutie). The idiosyncrasy of the music is very fitting as Hoodie Allen is not your typical rapper. A self-described, college educated music nerd, Hoodie Allen embraces his individuality and promotes it as the main message in his hype-machine breakout You Are Not A Robot (2010). The future is bright for Hoodie Allen. He plans to continue providing the masses with feel-good music for a long time.
