History 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.

Hilltop Hoods are one of Australia's original and most renowned hip hop groups. After over five years of limited exposure in Adelaide, where there was practically no hip hop scene, the Hilltop Hoods and others began to draw attention. The group received two nominations for the Hip Hop Act of the Year Award at The Australian Dance Music Awards and again at the 3D World Music Awards in 2001 and 2002.[1] Today, Hilltop Hoods continue to enjoy their success, and even have their own shoe design sponsored by DC Shoes.[2]
Recordings and collaborations The Hilltop Hoods have released six successful recordings: Aside from their own instalments, the Hilltop Hoods have featured on a number of compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with Australian hip hop scene musicians including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muph, MC Layla, Hyjak and DJ Bonez.
