Music Review – Hilltop Hoods ‘State of the Art’ – 4 Stars
While this album isn’t going to change the face of Australian hip-hop in the same way ‘The Calling’ did in 2003; that’s because, for the Hilltop Hoods, changing the face of Australian hip-hop is a case of ‘been there, done that’. Now it’s evident they’ve had more time to refine their sound, and the freedom to work on what they want. And you can see, with ‘State of the Art’ that this works for them. DJ Debris has tightened his technique, and Pressure and Suffa still have the pure flows that have defined the Hilltop Hoods for the past decade.
