> 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, Breaking (break dancing) and graffing (graffiti)) 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. <

In the early days, DJ Next did all the scratching, but in the late 1990’s, chose to pursue a career in IT, and had to depart from the group. DJ Debris stepped up from producing to become the Hilltop Hoods full time DJ. And so they remain to this day. <
