Hoodie's Back

Not long ago we brought you the hip hop stylings of a dude by the name of Hoodie Allen. His previous track 'You are not a robot' was a dope rap jam over the Marina and the Diamonds track 'I am not a robot'. Not only was it a clever use of sampling but the lines spat were pretty true. Suffice to say, Hoodie's back, this time spitting over an even doper track, Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club.

Hoodie has a mixtape coming out called Pep Rally which will no dout be excellent given his current crop of tasty tracks. For more info, check out his MySpace.

Marina in the sky with diamonds

A little while ago on Groove City we featured the latest tracks from Clock Opera, namely their remix of Marina and the Diamonds. On the back of this we were recently sent a hip hop track from a 21 year old rapper out of long island named Hoodie Allen.

In the words of the man himself, "the reason I think Hoodie Allen is a great fit for your blog is that you have been very receptive to Marina remixes in the past but you have never had one like mine! I have juxtaposed new school indie pop sampling with the punchy lyricism of a hip hop track. In doing so, I think I have something deceptively catchy that you might find yourself enjoying a lot".

Gotta give my man Hoodie props on this. His sampling is tight and the dude can spit a good line. This is definitely a track you've gotta peep.
