On March 1, New York rapper Hoodie Allen released 'Never Going Back," which is the first single from his upcoming album. The album is set to come out in May, and fans are very excited. He has been teasing the name "WUSA", which is an abbreviation of the actual album title. Hoodie is currently on tour in Europe and will be coming back to the USA to do some college shows next month.
"Never Going Back" is a very fun song. From the beat to the lyrics, it's a very upbeat song that I could listen to over and over. This song is a very positive one, as well, and I love the message behind it. It's the type of song you would blast while driving on a warm summer day. The lyrics are so much fun to just scream at the top of your lungs, and I feel like this song would be absolutely amazing live.
The music video for this song was released on March 2, and it is just as fun as the actual song is. It was filmed during Hoodie's Hanging with Hoodie tour that took place last fall. There are many familiar faces in this music video. From the opener, Gianni & Kyle, to his girlfriend, model Sadie Newman, make appearance. Of course, Hoodie's band and crew make it in the video as well.
I would easily give this song a five out of five stars. Hoodie never disappoints, and I'm really excited for this next project he's putting out. I'm really curious to see what route he takes for this album and what the "aesthetic" for it will be. For now, though, fans just have to wait until Hoodie makes an album announcement.
