RELEASE iNFO
As a group that has been together for over a decade, this is a title highly
befitting their 4th full length release. Hilltop Hoods are no strangers to
doing things the hard way with this album taking the listener on a lyrical
journey through the good, the bad and the hard roads travelled that have
brought them to where they are today.
This much anticipated 15 track release caters to all tastes with a mix of
narrative, party, posse and serious contemplative
tracks. Hilltop Hoods re-arrange the English language to suit their tongue in
cheek style and make listeners smile with their intelligent rhymes.
Flawless flows consisting of thoughtful insights on socio-political issues to
emotive, honest confessions and straight up entertaining one liners are all
complemented by world class beats mainly produced by Suffa with Debris, Trials
and Simplex contributing to create this classic album that is 'The Hard Road.'
Featuring infamous international guests, 'The Hard Road' sees Omni from LA add
his flavour to the jazz filled track 'Conversations From A Speakeasy,' with UK
Low Life Records masters Mystro and Braintax ripping it on 'Obese Lowlifes.'
Hilltop Hoods have also enlisted the services of fellow Oz Hip-Hop veterans
Muph, Pegz, Funkoars, Mortar, Hau, Drapht, Vents
and Robby Balboa on 'The Blue Blooded' to create the freshest Oz posse track to
date.
'The Hard Road' will be released on CD and on limited edition vinyl with a clip
to the title track 'The Hard Road' to hit screens in the near future.
Arguably the most ground breaking force in Australian Hip-Hop, Hilltop Hoods
are in a league of their own. 'The Hard Road' is on a one-way
highway to contributing to the future success of this genre with Hilltop Hoods'
unique ear for beats and lyrical prowess
