Hoodie Allen Releases New Single 'Hell Of A Time'

After teasing a new track to fans this week, rapper Hoodie Allen has officially dropped "Hell of a Time". The single recalls the decline of a relationship with the one of a kind word-play and hook-filled chorus' Hoodie is best known for.

Listen to the song below!

"This a song that sounds happy, but when you listen to the lyrics, it's very evident that it's not a happy topic. I love to flip meanings on their head, so it made sense to play with phrases like 'hell of a time' and 'been a minute' within the scope of this story about times that were kind of like hell" shares Hoodie on the second single from his forthcoming album Whatever, USA, due outAugust 16th.

"Hell Of A Time" joins previously released single "Come Around (ft. Christian French)" from Whatever, USA. The album tells the story of a small-town kid that has faced wins, losses and everything in between. "Summertime in a small town leaves you with nothing to do but fall in and out of love with your surroundings and I wanted to evoke that feeling throughout this record. There has been something so special about seeing so many other people in their small towns over the last few years. I'm excited for fans to find themselves in this record and place themselves on the map of Whatever, USA."
