Following up his successful 2012 EP All American, Hoodie Allen released Crew Cuts in February 2013. Marketed as “the free album”, Crew Cuts takes a slightly less boorish approach than Hoodie’s previous works, focusing much on how moderate fame changed his life. The project features many other rappers, including Chiddy, G-Eazy, and Chance the Rapper. With “Fame Is For Assholes” and “Two Lips” becoming instant classics, Hoodie is free to discuss his past in “Let Me Be Me” and his future in “Where Do We Go Now”. And finally, as he says in “Wave Goodbye”, Hoodie just wants to shine before he passes his prime. Crew Cuts makes it apparent that his prime is right now.
