New Hilltop Hoods song and album announced

The Australian hip-hop veterans are back. They recently announced their new album The Great Expanse, which will be released early next year, as well as the new single “Leave Me Lonely”. The single was premiered with an interesting music video which looked like a gold rush film with some lyrics on screen and some spelling mistakes.

So is the song hot? Well, for starters, it sounds like a very rushed song. It was presumably written, produced, recorded and mixed in one hour-long session at their plutonic lab studio. It starts with an old school guitar riff, which sort of backs up the gold rush theme of the video. And then pressure and suffer start rapping, and they sound like they’re really impatient to get out of the booth and go home to change their kids’ nappies.

Their lyrics and flow on this song has changed since their last album The Calling. It’s about doing hardcore drugs, mostly weed and ecstasy. They also reference a classic from Vents: “I have to hide in the shadows”. The hook is catchy too.

The video is blowing up worldwide, and it’s on track to be the most viewed video EVER, given that it keeps gaining views at this rate for more than a thousand years and no other video gets any more views.

This song is dope. It’s a surefire hit to blow up on the charts. If it doesn’t, you can still support the song by buying it for the low price of $2.19. Plus, the album will be coming out just weeks before the new Kerser album, so you’ll have a nice present to get for your grandparents before you spend all of your money on yourself.

Get behind these guys and support Aussie hip-hop.

Sovereign Hill review – is it worth visiting?

Sovereign Hill is a nice place near the beach in Ballarat that represents the gold rush of the medieval times. Some lads say that this representation isn’t that accurate but I don’t know about that. So that’s why I’m gonna be analysing some things about it in this essay. I’m mostly gonna be talking about the candle shop. So without further ado, let’s get into my in-depth review of Sovereign Hill.

hill

Candles were made from tallow back in the day, so they would naturally always be white, but the candle making lads would add some random stuff into the candles to give them colour. They used arsenic for the colour green, so some peeps would die from burning those things. Not that we’re supposed to have green candles in our houses. Personal use candles were always white, as mines had called shotgun on all the good colours as their trademarks. So if someone was caught with a coloured candle in their house, everyone thought it was stolen from a mine. The Sovereign Hill candle shop sells candles of any colour—including green—to any lad who walks into the shop; that’s not good.

Everyone knows that men are sexist pigs, and back in the gold rush times they had POWER too–this was before feminism took over. Because of this, women weren’t allowed to work in candle shops back in the day. But just about every candle at Sovereign Hill are made and sold by women. During the gold rush, just about every good job was for men. This is the WORST medieval representation EVER.

For a gold rush town, I’m DISGUSTED that they don’t sell any Will Shakespeare records at Sovereign Hill. Everybody knows that Will Shakespeare was the most prominent rapper during the gold rush, and it’s an utter DISGRACE to not sell his records in ANY gold rush shop. He’d be rolling in his grave if he knew that all of his hard work wasn’t paying off. Without Will Shakespeare, there would have been no gold rush, so Sovereign Hill is utterly disgusting to call themselves a gold rush town.

Not only is Sovereign Hill the ugliest town I’ve ever visited, but it does a TERRIBLE job of representing the gold rush. Who cares if it’s close to the beach anyway? It’s not even made of gold. The dumb people who built it took what should have been a Will Shakespeare record store and built a stupid candle shop (which sells GREEN candles) in its place. This is the worst gold rush representation EVER. DO NOT VISIT IT!

I love songs by Thundamentals

Thundermentals are some Austrian heavy metal rappers. They are made up of Tucker, Jewson, DJ MORGS and Poncho. They recently released their new album I Love Songs.

Their lyrics and music is very romantic. Jewson likes to sing about his overdose and can also rap in Spanish. That’s some talent right there.

The album starts with a really choppy beat and some really weird singing. But it’s dope. Tucker starts rapping about fifty seconds in. Nice!

The rest of the songs are pretty much on the same note. A stand out track is “Catch Me If You Can”. It sounds a bit like an Ed Sheeran song, (I forget which one) but it’s dope!

The last song on the album features Adrian Eagle, the most overrated singer of 2018. Everyone knew him as a big up-and-comer until he ruined the new Hilltop Hoods single. But apart from that, the song’s dope! It features some rapping in Spanish. I can’t understand it but it’s catchy and dope. Jewson and Tucker sound like they’ve been doing this for a while. Dope!

This album is catchy and romantic and dope. You can get it off iTunes for the low price of $14.99, plus you can get it at a shop or illegally download it off their Myspace.

But don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some other guys are saying:

I love songs too!!!

—Johnny

I haven’t listened to the album but it’s dope!

—Chaz

Their accents have to be some of the weirdest things I’ve ever heard.

—Jackie

I’d rather listen to a metronome.
