Steven Adam Markowitz[1] (born August 19, 1988), known professionally as Hoodie Allen, is an American rapper from Plainview, New York.[2] After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, he began working at Google before ultimately quitting to pursue a full-time career in hip hop music.
His debut extended play (EP), All American (2012), peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200. His debut studio album People Keep Talking (2014), peaked at number eight and spawned the single "All About It" (featuring Ed Sheeran), his sole entry on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album, Happy Camper (2016), peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200, while his third, The Hype (2017), narrowly entered the chart.
He is regarded as a preeminent artist in frat rap, a subgenre of hip hop lyrically centered around coming of age hedonism. Markowitz has notably remained an independent artist throughout his career.[3]
