One of my favorite hip hop acts these days, Hoodie Allen, just dropped a new track — Dreams Up.
The track is great (not surprised) and it’s available for free here. In exchange for the generous giveaway, you should head on over to the hype machine and show Hoodie some love.
And if you haven’t already, you need to download Hoodie’s mixtape, Pep Rally, here. (also free!)
