College Kid Music Discovery: Hilltop Hoods

Artist: Hilltop Hoods

Originally from: Adelaide, South Australia

Genre: Australian Hip-hop

Over break, all the college kids were hanging out like we do, and a song came on that I didn't recognize. It had an awesome beat and I instantly wanted to press the repeat button (which I did). It was a nice break from the hip-hop we all here on the radio everyday which is mostly quite annoying (except of course Snoop Dogg's new single Sensual Seduction). Hilltop Hoods formed in the down-under in 1991 when two of the three members met in High School.

The two albums I currently have, and listen to constantly, are The Calling (2003) and The Hard Road Restrung (2007). Each of them have a very unique sound that is completed by DJ Debris; the third member of the group. You can check out my favorite song here, and if you have any input feel free to leave it in the comments.
