Alternative hip-hop artist Hoodie Allen crossed over from underground to mainstream attention with his 2012 All American EP, which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes chart as well as the Billboard top ten. The rapper and singer was born Steven Markowitz in New York City and grew up in a Jewish household in Plainview, Long Island, writing lyrics as a kid and rapping at friends' parties in high school, where he adopted his moniker from the childhood nickname Hoodie. While attending the University of Pennsylvania, he released 2008’s Making Waves mixtape and 2009’s Bagels and Beats EP and Pep Rally mixtape, which sampled Death Cab for Cutie, Flight Facilities, and Two Door Cinema Club, and generated internet buzz for its track "You Are Not A Robot", sampling Marina & The Diamonds. Hoodie has also wowed audiences on tour with the likes of Chiddy Bang, Das Racist, and RJD2, as well as headlining a concert trek across the United States. With pop-rap style in the vein of Asher Roth and Sam Adams, his multi-speed and witty lyrics coupled with his vibrant beats are sure to entertain ticket holders. His newest mixtape Crew Cuts featured contributions from Chance the Rapper, Chiddy Bang and Shwayze, and his 2013 fall tour took him through cities in Europe and the U.S.
Im only 24 but It brought me back to my high school days. Hoodie Allen’s All American album was an album I used to listen to on repeat constantly. Hearing those songs performed live and in person just brought back so many amazing memories and I just danced and screamed until I couldn’t anymore. It was perfect!!
Had the most amazing time. Hoodie puts in an amazing show and is such a down to earth human overall. Only complaint about the show is that his microphone wasn’t loud enough and the drums were SO loud. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.
The dud knows how to work the crowd, phenomenal performer, great show, loved the antics. Venue was great, sound stage was great, lights were well done and not over the top/blinding. Wonderful experience. Glad he came back!!!
First off, I need to say that I flew from Toronto to New York to see Hoodie live. I have been a HUGE Hoodie fan for the past eight years, and seeing Hoodie live was an absolute honour. It was so wonderful being able to meet him, and honestly did not think I would be as excited as I was. Being at the concert with my boyfriend, his response to the concert was, "he had great stage presence, and the highlight of my night was seeing how happy you were the whole time." I literally have not stopped thinking about the concert since I saw him live, and cannot wait til he goes on tour again. Love you, Hoodie!
It was an amazing experience, meet and greet was fast and the view from the balcony was amazing although the balcony could use a little more space, my view was slightly blocked every few minutes. But other then that it was an amazing experience! Would recommend!
Hoodie Allen put on an amazing show for the last night of his tour!! He is a consummate performer and it made for a thoroughly entertaining night. Venue was excellent, have been there many times over many years.
I have seen and met Hoodie Allen 5 times now and it’s always a great show, great venue, and great audience. Literally my top artist to see live and will continue to see him. ??
I’ve been to just over 25 concerts, big and small. Hoodie Allen takes the cake. The amount of energy in the show can keep you going all night. He makes every single person feel wanted there and keeps it entertaining all night. And he even said that wasn’t even his best day because of some bus troubles. Still showed up and absolutely killed it. See you again soon Hoodie!
Hoodie Allen was amazing! He’s very interactive with the crowd and I can’t wait to see him again! It was such a cool opportunity to get to meet him and take photos with him, not just once but TWICE. It’ll be a memory I’ll cherish forever!
It was just very hot outside but the concert was amazing IMO.
