Hoodie Allen Wants to "Break Down the Wall Between Fans and Artists"

Even with the recent success of his debut album, People Keep Talking, rapper Hoodie Allen isn't getting a big head. The record charted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, but Allen is staying true to his roots–and making sure his fans realize that. 

Allen is a special guest on tonight's episode of Top 20 Countdown–you can watch interview clips with him above and below, and you can tune into his full guest spot on the show tonight at 9/8c!

Since his early years as an artist, Allen has always been dedicated to keeping in contact with his fans. "I've always wanted to break down the wall between fans and artists, so it was always important to me to respond to people on Twitter or Facebook or even YouTube comments," he tells Fuse host Katie Van Buren.
