Hoodie Allen

Hoodie Allen (born August 19, 1988) is a rapper from Long Island, NY. His real life name is Steven Markowitz – the stage name Hoodie Allen came from his youth nickname “Hoodie” and is a wordplay with actor Woody Allen. He would gain first success with several mixtapes and EPs such as Leap Year, All American and Crew Cuts, before going on to release his first studio album People Keep Talking in 2014. Hoodie went on to release Happy Camper in 2016, The Hype in 2017, and Whatever USA in 2019. His style is a mixture of rap and pop – catchy hooks are often embedded in two or three fast spoken verses. His lyrics mostly deal with fame, girls and parties and are very reference-heavy. Hoodie is actually quite active on Genius from time to time and leaves funny and interesting comments!
