The success of the Hip-Hop album The Calling (2003) by the Hilltop
Hoods was a major event on the timeline of Hip-Hop in Australia. It
launched a formerly ‘underground’ scene into the spotlight,
radically transforming the group members’ lives and creating new
opportunities for other Hip-Hop artists. This book analyses the
impact of the album by drawing on original interviews with fifteen
Hip-Hop practitioners from across Australia, including artists who
contributed to the album. These primary interviews are interwoven
with material from media sources and close readings of song lyrics
and album imagery. An exploration of the early histories of Hip-Hop
in Australia with a focus on the formation of Obese Records and the
Hilltop Hoods’ biography gives way to analysis of specific tracks
from the album and the Hoods’ prowess as live performers. The
book uses The Calling as a lens to examine the beliefs and
practices of Hip-Hop enthusiasts in Australia, including changes
since the album was released. Published in 2023 to coincide with
the album’s twenty-year anniversary, the book is an engaging
evaluation of a musical release that was so significant that people
now use it explain two distinct periods in Australian Hip-Hop (pre
or post The Calling).
