The Hilltop Hoods are an Australian hip hop group, originating from Adelaide, South Australia. Their members (June 2006) are MCs Suffa, Pressure, DJ Debris and formerly DJ Next. They work under the Obese Records record label and are often heard on national radio, especially Triple J and Nova.
The group formed in 1991 when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at Blackwood High School. They joined up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend and formed the basis for the group. Early on in the history of the Hilltop Hoods DJ Next did all of the scratches and regularly competed in the local DMC tournaments. In the late 1990's DJ Next chose to pursue a different career path after the release of A Matter of Time and moved to Sydney. DJ Debris who was previously producer became the main DJ. DJ Next remains in contact with the Hilltop Hoods. Prior to the release of Back Once Again, the Hilltop Hoods put together a demo entitled "Highlanders".
Influences include Ryan Jones, American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Public Enemy, although the Hilltop Hoods rap with their native Australian accents.
