Hilltop Hoods is an Australian hip hop group that formed in 1994 in Adelaide, South Australia. The group's founders are Suffa (Matt Lambert) and MC Pressure (Daniel Smith), who were joined by DJ Debris (Barry Francis) after fellow founder, DJ Next (Ben Hare), left in 1999. The group released its first extended play, Back Once Again, in 1997 and have subsequently released seven studio albums, three DVDs and a "restrung" version of the 2006 album, The Hard Road.

Three tracks have reached the top 10 on the ARIA Singles Chart—"Chase That Feeling" (2009), "I Love It", featuring Sia (2011) and "Higher", featuring Jason Chatburn (2015)—while "Cosby Sweater" (2014) became the group's first-ever top 5 ARIA single on 15 November 2014.

The Hilltop can mean:
The Hilltop is a 2013 Israeli novel by Assaf Gavron. The novel was "an Israeli best-seller and prize-winner."
The Hilltop is set in a Jewish settlement in the West Bank. It was published in Israel in 2013 and in late 2014 in an English translation by Steven Cohen.
Adam Kirsch calls it "a great Israeli novel", praising Gavron for his contemporary voice. In the Wall Street Journal, Sam Sacks described The Hilltop as, describing "superbly orchestrated chaos" making it, "an indispensable novel of... the 'Wild West Bank.'"
The Hilltop is the student newspaper of Howard University, a historically Black college, located in Washington, D.C. Co-founded in 1924 by Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston and Louis Eugene King, The Hilltop is the first and only daily newspaper at a historically Black college or university (HBCU) in the United States.
The newspaper is a color tabloid with a print circulation of 7,000. Student activities fees collected from the student body partially support the newspaper, however, the bulk of the paper's operating budget comes from advertising revenue. The Hilltop boasts a full paid staff which consists of majors ranging from print journalism to biology.
The Editor in Chief is responsible for the daily operations of running the paper and overseeing the staff. The Editor in Chief is responsive to "The Hilltop Policy Board" which consists of the Editor in Chief, Business Manager, elected student body leaders and several administrators (including the Dean of the School of Communications and the Journalism Department Chair)-- each holding one equal vote. The board meets several times a year, most importantly to vote on an operating budget and student activities fee allotment for the newspaper and to select the successors to the Editor in Chief and Business Manager. The board has no jurisdiction to censor the newspaper in any way.
