Hoodie Allen - No Interruption

Hoodie. Kid knows how to flow. He's clearly intelligent and his pop culture references are always on point. Especially if you're a white kid from the upper middle class suburbs. So, yeah it works. He knows his target audience. I mean homeboy drops an Anders Holmvic reference. Now that's some tight you b_____.

Hoodie Allen - James Franco

Hoodie has been around for a couple years now bouncing around the internet. He first caught our ear with his You Are Not A Robot take on Marina & The Diamonds. He's been on a pretty steady climb since. He's no stranger to TMD. But's it's been a while since he's been featured up here. He lost some luster for a bit, but he's back strong with this anthem named after non other than Mr. James Franco. His flow is back and he's got a solid beat to work with on this. I'm glad to see him bounce back after some of his recent work was either too experimental or just not as good as we've come to expect from the white boy from Penn. Good work Hoodie. Best line of the track : "If I were hipster I would have posted this on vimeo." So very true. He posted on youtube.

Hoodie Allen - NY Is Killing Me

New Hoodie! This was supposed to go up a few days ago, but it didn't for some reason. Whatever. Now it's up. I like it, don't love it, which is ironic since the lyrics are "I create, you criticize"...

Hoodie Allen - Dream Up

We first met Hoodie back in the spring of 2010. He's since sold out a national tour and things are lookin up for Mr. Witz. He's clearly got something that's working for him. The University of Pennsylvania is treating him well as he is clearly well educated. Here he references Willie Beaman, Vince Young, Summer Heights High and Gone With The Wind. A broad spectrum to say the least. His rhymes are smart, sharp and witty. And the fact that he samples such quality indie hooks just furthers the argument that he is set for world domination. And he wraps it up nicely with steady flow and style. The future is bright for Hoodie. We wish him the best.

Hoodie Allen - You Are Not A Robot (Feat. Marina & The Diamonds)

Hoodie Allen is a New York based hip hop duo made up of Steve Witz and Obey City, two white boys from Long Island. They are releasing a mini-mixtape called The Diamond Cuts which features samples from Marina & The Diamond’s 2009 Release, The Family Jewels. Steve Witz's flow is pretty solid for a white boy and his wordplay is witty, which i can respect and Obey City serves up some solid backing beats for you to nod your head to. Anyways, its a pretty solid effort. Check it out.
