Hilltop Hoods Announce Ninth Studio Album ‘Fall From The Light'
Aussie hip-hop icons Hilltop Hoods have announced the imminent arrival of their first album in six years. Dubbed Fall From The Light, the rap trio's ninth studio LP is due to reach our ears on Friday, 1st August. The forthcoming record is packing 12 tracks, including 2025 lead single 'The Gift' ft. Marlon, recent fan-fave 'Don't Happy, Be Worry' and the Gold-certified 'Laced Up'. It was produced by the Hoods' long-time collaborator One Above (also Illy, Allday, KLP) with additional prod by Sesta and the group's own Suffa, and features bonus collabs from New Zealand group SIX60 and Aussie songstress Nyassa. We're told the ambitious LP was recorded across Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne and New Zealand over six years, as the group prioritised quality over efficiency. 'We really took our time with this one,' Hilltop Hoods' MC Pressure comments. 'We put more years into it than any other of our albums because we wanted it to be our best work to date. Putting it out after so long feels more monumental and exciting than ever.' The LP will be available on Limited Edition 180-gram 2LP coloured vinyl across a range of spicy variants, and fans can pre-order 'em now, right here.

Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods make a huge comeback as they announce first new album in six years
Hilltop Hoods are making a huge comeback. The legendary Australian hip hop group have announced they will be releasing their first new album in six years. The Aussie rap stars shared the exciting news to social media on Wednesday, revealing Fall From The Light will be released on August 1. 'This album has been an exercise in patience. Six years is a long time between albums, but there's a good reason for that,' they wrote. They added the long wait allowed the group to produce some of the best work of their career. 'There was a lot happening, in the world and in our lives. But it turns out (from my perspective anyway), that time was the album's strength, not weakness,' they said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We've never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before. The result is something that's been carefully crafted with an extreme attention to detail. 'It's an album we're really proud of, and a body of music we can't wait to share with everyone.' Many of their 198,000 followers took to the comment section to express their excitement. 'That's awesome. Hopefully a tour announcement soon,' one person wrote. 'This is so cool!!! Cannot wait boys!' a second added. Hilltop Hoods have release nine studio albums since forming in Adelaide in 1994. In 2019, the band revealed they simply couldn't afford to take their show overseas despite their massive success Down Under. Member Matt Lambert told The Daily Telegraph of their elaborate Australian stage age: 'What we put on here is so big now.' 'If we took the big show overseas we would have to sell all of our houses to be able to afford it,' he added. Lambert, also known as MC Suffa, added that the group's mainstream fame had taken them from outsiders to contenders. 'We definitely don't feel as much of an outsider as we used to,' he told the paper of being a rare Aussie hip hop act. 'We used to feel almost like some kind of novelty.' The group is made up of founding members MC Suffa (Lambert) and MC Pressure (Daniel Smith) and is backed up by DJ Debris (Barry Francis). Their prior studio album, 2014's Walking Under Stars, hit number one in Australia and was certified double platinum. In February 2019, the group supported Eminem on his Australian and New Zealand concert tour. The hip-hop group has won eight ARIA Awards and are regarded as Australia's most successful homegrown hip hop act.

What's on: BASS, bevvies and brekkies
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEKEND It's another huge weekend in the Top End, and if you're the type who likes to pack it all in: music, food, and a little spice – this one's for you! Today is all about BASSINTHEGRASS. Kicking off from 2pm down at Mindil Beach, this year's line-up brings Hilltop Hoods, The Jungle Giants, Meg Mac and more to Darwin's biggest music festival. A fun fact for you: BASS is one of the only music festivals that emerged in the early 2000s that is still standing. Think Falls, Splendour, Future Music Festival, Groovin the Moo, Soundwave, etc. And honestly, if there's a sunset over the water, under the palm trees, listening to live music? Why wouldn't you want to be part of it. Then, if you're game, I've seen that there is a Chilli Festival at Berry Springs Rec Reserve from 9am on Sunday. Make a day of it and head the back way to Litchfield for a swim, calling in for a chilli eating competition on the way, of course! There's even a best hot sauce in the Territory showdown. Another really great Sunday option: The Bloody Mary Book Club. I am notoriously terrible at book clubs because I never finish the book everyone else is reading at the same time - I'm either too slow cause I have heaps on, or I read it in one go and then have forgotten what it's about by the time we catch up (surely that's not just me?). So this idea piqued my interest: Instead of everyone having to read the same book, bring along whatever you're reading, or a favourite to share. The first hour is spent in silent reading, followed by a 30-minute session where everyone introduces their book. Then you get to discover what might be your next read, with a real-life review. Easy as that! The Bloody Mary Book Club is at The Last Supper in the Air Raid Arcade, Sunday from 2.45pm, and your ticket includes two bloody Marys. SOMEWHERE YOU NEED TO EAT If you haven't been to Besser Brew Bar yet, consider this your nudge. This tucked-away spot in the Winnellie Industrial area has gone from a local secret to a must-visit in recent years, and they've just launched a new menu. It's got some iterations of the favourites, and of course still includes the famed Chicken Laksa Burger — but with new additions like the Scrambled Hot Mess and the McBesser burger. The coffee is also great – so now's the time to revisit if it's been a while! LOCAL'S TIP As we get further into the Dry, you'll notice people throwing open their doors and bringing back the outdoor seating, so my local's tip for the weekend ahead: Poco Bar has reopened! One of Darwin's favourite little laneway hangouts is back, serving up great wines, a new cocktail list, and a brand new menu. Tucked away between Austin Lane and Cavenagh Street, in Spain Place, it's the perfect spot for a quiet drink or an after-work meet-up. They're open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 4pm.
