This band is the shiznit! I do not know a single person that does not find them charming to some degree. There is little good to be said about Adelaide's water but there must have been something in it to produce such quality!
From "Wiki":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilltop_Hoods...The group formed in 1991 when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at Blackwood High School. They joined up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend and formed the basis for the group. Early on in the history of the Hilltop Hoods DJ Next did all of the scratches and regularly competed in the local DMC tournaments. In the late 1990's DJ Next chose to pursue a different career path after the release of A Matter of Time and moved to Sydney. DJ Debris who was previously producer became the main DJ. DJ Next remains in contact with the Hilltop Hoods.Influences include American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Public Enemy, although the Hilltop Hoods rap with their native Australian accents.Their name comes from a suburb in south-eastern Adelaide known by the local youth as the Hilltop, where Suffa and Pressure were raised. The name "Hilltop Hoods" was suggested by local rapper, Flak, of the Cross Bred Mongrels.*The Hard Road* Video:Hear *Clown Prince*:This is a "Filling In The Gaps":http://mog.com/Neill/blog_post/29537 post
