![]() ![]() Hoodie just played a sold-out show at New York’s Roseland Ballroom, a few blocks from where I live. ( Slate just published great article about Allen’s genius for social-media promotion and his willingness to call fans after they buy his album.) It also looks like a Twitter campaign is going to get Hoodie on Jimmy Fallon’s show. And despite not having a manager or a record label, he’s developed a dedicated fan base that sent his album All American into Billboard’s Top Ten. That’s because Steven Markowitz (as his mama calls him) has been rising through the ranks of underground hip-hop for almost four years. “We’ve been listening to Hoodie Allen! Where the hell have you been?!?” ![]() “Of course we should be listening to Hoodie Allen!” they might say. For lots of people, the title of this post will seem pretty stupid.
