After seven mixtapes and EPs, Hoodie Allen, aka rapper/singer Steven Markowitz, will release his debut album independently this summer. Lead single “Show Me What You’re Made Of” blends high-energy beats with soulful crooning and rapid-fire references to Manny Pacquiao, The Fresh Prince’s Uncle Phil, and Billy Corgan. The rest of the album promises to be as musically and lyrically diverse. With Down With Webster. The Crocodile. 7 p.m. SOLD OUT. All ages. AZARIA C. PODPLESKY

Cultural appropriation aside, Lana Del Rey is a stunning visual artist, breathing new life into the music video, making a display of her sordid relationship with Americana.
