Hilltop Hoods is tagged as: hip-hop, australian, aussie hip-hop, rap, hip hop Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name comes from a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as the Hilltop, where the group comes from. One day, another local rapper, Flak, from the Cross Bred Mongrels said that’s what they should call themselves, and the name stuck. The group formed in the early 1990s when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete. The group’s name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, a surburb in Adelaide which they lived in as children. They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, which encouraged them to spread this style of music to Australia as well. The Hilltop Hoods have released seven successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) and State Of The Art (LP - 2009). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 4... Read More About Hilltop Hoods Biography...
