While working at Google, I would leave at 7:00am for a shuttle ride to the Googleplex in Mountain View, work a whole day, come back at 6:00pm, compose tunes, answer fan messages, and schedule shows until 2:00pm. 00:00 p.m. or 3:00 a.m.
Hoodie Allen has always been enthusiastic about music, so every time he had amazing opportunities to do live shows, he decided to leave Google. Describing his time working at Google, he once said, “I was moving so fast, and even while I was at Google there was so much going on that I felt like I was doing two positions a day.”
On October 14, 2014, he self-delivered his debut studio collection called People Keep Talking and was ranked #2 on both the US (Billboard) Top Rap Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. US R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (Billboard) chart and at #8 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
