Editor's note

Hilltop Hoods, Adelaide's long-running hip-hop trio

A Matter of Time, The Hard Road, and over a dozen albums from Australia's underground.

For a quick sense of their style, try 'Cosby Sweater' or 'Fifty In Five'. They're good examples of how the Hoods work.

They've been the same three members, Pressure, Suffa, and DJ Debris, since the late 1990s, which is rare in any genre. Songs like 'Cosby Sweater' and 'Fifty In Five' show how they built a straightforward hip-hop sound with Australian references. Pressure's public discussions about mental health and some politically charged lyrics have kept their work grounded in real conversations.

They formed in Adelaide playing underground clubs and open mics. Their debut 'A Matter of Time' arrived in 2003, followed by records like 'The Hard Road' and 'State of the Art'. They've kept releasing music since, including collaborations like the one with Ruel on 'Fire & Grace'.
