Deft rhymes from Australia's premier hip-hop crew

Formed in mid-'90s Adelaide, Hilltop Hoods quickly proved that Australian hip-hop could compete on an international level. MCs Suffa and Pressure juggle conscious lyrics with swaggering positivity, and as Sia collaboration “I Love It” proves, the group aren't afraid to flirt with pop or recast their material with a full orchestra. DJ Debris revels in sophisticated beats and unusual samples, ensuring the trio's moodier moments are as strong as their feel-good hits—witness the bounce of “The Nosebleed Section” and the empowering “Chase That Feeling”.
