Hilltop Hoods

Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, the supergroup consist of MCs Suffa & Pressure and DJ Debri. Their name originates from a part of Adelaide known by all local B-Boys –someone who identifies with the hip-hop culture (consisting of MCing, Breakingand Graffing) – as the Hilltop, where they were born and raised. Another local rapper, Flak, from the group Cross Bred Mongrels, recommended Hilltop Hoods and the name stayed. Suffa & Pressure were in the same homeroom at Blackwood High School, in the early nineties. At first they despised each other; “We were in home room together and didn’t like each other one bit. Pressure had a busted locker, and every morning I’d piss myself laughing as he battled the locker for his books. Pressure didn’t like me because I had a mullet and a jacket with a Motorhead patch on it.” But they eventually became friends through a mutual love of music. Soon they were listening to nothing but hip-hop and together began writing rhymes to help get by in history lessons.
