Putting a bit more pop into pop-rap, rapper Hoodie Allen went from Internet favorite to charting artist with the release of his 2012 EP “All American.” Born Steven Markowitz and raised on Long Island, Hoodie was frat-rap from the beginning, having met producer RJF during an Alpha Epsilon Pi-hosted party at the University of Pennsylvania.

A headlining tour across the United States followed before Hoodie made his official debut. On March 29, 2012, Hoodie released the first single from “All American,” titled “No Interruption,” as well as its music video. It currently has more than 13 million views. “All American” was released April 10, 2012 and debuted as the No. 1 album on iTunes.
