Hilltop Hoods Down Under

Just thought I'd give everyone here a heads up to Hilltop Hoods

They're an Aussie hip hop outfit comprising Pressure MC, Suffa MC and DJ Debris and they're seriously big news out there. First heard them on a nightbus through Poland from Lithuania couple of years ago (on an iPod, they weren't on the bus!) Really good stuff, especially Nosebleed Section and The Hard Road.

On the Aussie hiphop front, also check out The Funkoars (http://www.myspace.com/themotherfuckingfunkoars) who've got some similar tracks. Lots of funk/soul influences on the instrumental side, with that kind of honest lyrical attitude that characterises alot of British hiphop.

More to come on Aussie hip hop soon...
