After Yoshi T's performance, it was Hoodie Allen's turn to take the stage, and he did so with a homecoming passion that was palpable throughout the venue. From his early hits like, "No Interruption" to a song named for the city he was currently performing in, “No Faith in Brooklyn," Hoodie delivered a set that was equal parts nostalgic and exhilarating. But at Hoodie’s set, it was less about the music, and more about the moments and connection he had with his fans. From relying on someone he picked from the crowd to rap a verse on one of his featured tracks, to performing a cover of “This Love” by Maroon 5, Hoodie Allen danced and rapped his way through each song. It was clear that this was more than just a concert for Hoodie—it was a triumphant return to his roots, a celebration of where it all began. Earmarked by balloons floating to the crowd mid-set, you could tell Hoodie Allen was happy to be home.
