Hoodie Allen - Dreams Up


Here's the latest release from Hoodie Allen off his upcoming mixtape, Leap Year.  Not only am I excited just because this track came out today, but also because it is still up to the high level of quality I've come to expect from Hoodie.

He samples Oh Land's White Nights for this joint.  His sample selection is so diverse, but always manages to sound great.  It sometimes takes you a second to catch his references and jokes because they come at you nonstop.  That's part of what makes it good music, though: every new listen exposes something that you may have missed before.

This kid works so hard.  As a UPenn graduate and current employee at Google, he's obviously one smart cookie.  I don't know too many Google workers, though, who have 5,000 Facebook friends, a huge fan following, and actually make efforts to interact with any and all of them personally.

Hoodie dreams up.  MLK had a dream.  I spent all winter break dreaming, but now it's back to school...
