"I really wanted to do something different. Just before the release of his new album, Hoodie Allen spent a weekend flying out to three random fans' houses who pre-ordered The Hype. He said that he wants to meet everyone he can at his shows but he recently did something unlike any artist has done for their fans. Throughout his career, his music has remained true to itself, and so has his mentality toward his fans. I didn’t really consciously do this, but it’s a very diverse sounding project that doesn’t really copy any of the current trends of the current mainstream rap pop-rap world," Hoodie Allen said on the phone. The Hype has upbeat songs like "Sushi," but finishes with the more soulful cut, "Running Circles." Its diversity is something Hoodie takes pride in. That looks a lot like a sushi roll,'" Hoodie said. It was like 'oh man maybe sushi is like rolling up, like when people have those bands and are rolling up money. "We made a more minimal, kind of current sounding hip-hop beat.
The idea began with an instrumental and the word "sushi" in mind, but quickly grew into what would be one of the most popular songs from The Hype. According to Hoodie, the two musicians spent two studio sessions together and came up with the idea for the single "Sushi." One of those ideas was stumbled upon when he was working in the studio with Cisco Adler. It’s really like a fun process for me to kind of stumble upon ideas and then form them from there." Sometimes good stuff flows out, sometimes great stuff flows out, sometimes bad things come out. "I love just freestyling melodies letting my brain kind of turn off a little bit. These ideas kind of formed together in a room and someone starts playing some chords on a guitar," Hoodie Allen said.

"Most of were really like free form and jammy, especially in the tracks where there was a lot of live bands elements to them. It is undeniably the most fun, but still most thought-out release from Hoodie Allen in his career. He was creative with each track, but still put together a project where each song feels like an important part of the bigger picture. Authenticity, wittiness, and infectious hooks are expected, but the wholeness of this project is what shines. The Hype is a perfect display of what makes Hoodie Allen one of the biggest pop-rap acts in recent memory. "For this one I took the advice of some of my peers and they said 'go work your ass off and make 50 songs and then pick the best ones.' I really spent the time on this one to really work and take away some of those normal pressures for the sake of hopefully having a better product at the end of the day for fans to hear," he said. The Hype is a collection of 12 tracks that see the pop-rap artist take a slightly different approach to creation. He is referring to his track "Fakin" off of his recently-released album The Hype. It’s cool that nine years later, someone that I look up to now – I have a song with them." "We have a pretty iconic Twitter picture back from 2008 that just resurfaced. I was a part of the concert booking committee that brings in talent and then acts as hospitality for them, and it was my first year on there and I was like 'we need to get Wale,' and I was his direct hospitality person," Hoodie Allen said about meeting Wale.
"He’s always been really nice to me, I actually met him when I was a sophomore in college at the University of Pennsylvania. Sorry Donald, but this one's just too good not to share.Hoodie Allen and Wale met long before Hoodie Allen had a number one EP on iTunes, and even before he had graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. To be clear, im not talking about my fans, or blogs, or anyone who post my music after leaks. Im trying to create one of the more imaginative rollouts, and other people's lust for money and impatience is ruining it
this song was not supposed to come out tonight Earlier this morning he took to Twitter to vent his frustration.
Unfortunately, it seems that this song leaked before Donald had wanted it to. His approach on the song may best be categorized as 'gangster rap,' and while typically not my favorite genre, I can't seem to help myself from hitting repeat. "Sweatpants" is the latest peek at what's to come, and boy does it bang home. But given that I don't really watch much TV, I'm pretty stoked about hearing more tunes. The downside is that all this extra work means he's taking a step back from his role on NBC's Community. He recently signed a deal to star, write and executive produce a new show on FX titled Atlanta, and he's also on the verge of releasing his second studio album Because The Internet. Donald Glover's musical career is about to kick up a notch.
