Hilltop Hoods July 13, 2010

Australia's premier hip hop crew Hilltop Hoods release ‘State Of The Art', their fifth studio album, through their label Golden Era Records. ‘State Of The Art' follows their 2006 award-winning album ‘The Hard Road'. Alongside the album release they're performing at T In The Park, Oxegen and London's Koko.

It's been a long time coming for Hilltop Hoods - MC Suffa (Matt Lambert), MC Pressure (Daniel Smith) and DJ Debris (Barry Francis) - but ‘State Of The Art' is everything fans could have wished for. It's dark, heavy, challenging, raw and occasionally funny. It's unmistakably the Hoods but quite unlike anything they've ever done before; guitars, strings and unidentifiable sounds interweave in a cutting-edge cacophony of words, rhymes and samples.
