Within the first twenty seconds of “You Are Not A Robot”, it will become apparent that Hoodie Allen has been drinking from the same punch that hydrated Chiddy Bang last year — just don’t knock him for it. The Marina and the Diamonds-sampling, huge bass-infused “You Are Not A Robot” has serious summer-jam appeal, and is endlessly replay-able.

Hoodie Allen will release “You Are Not A Robot” in an upcoming mixtaped called “The Diamond Cuts” featuring samples only from Marina and the Diamonds. Give Hoodie Allen a listen and let me know what you think.

I dig it, he has a good flow.
The instrumentals are cool but very Chiddy-esque, with a added dub influence (like everything else these days.)

Summer jam for sure.

LOVE THIS SONG, don’t sleep on this kid. Going to see him play Saturday night at The Bitter End in NYC, heard he has a full live band.

Loving this track; it’s almost like having more Chiddy which is never bad.
