To celebrate the launch of the ‘Speaking in Tongues’ tour the Hilltop Hoods are giving away ‘The Good Life in the Sun EP’ – the official ‘Drinking from the Sun’ remix EP. The free download features Black Thought (The Roots), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Classified, Lotek, Solo (Horrorshow) and Briggs plus a funky jam between myself, Plutonic Lab and DJ Debris.

Download it for free here.

I’ll be hitting the road with the Hoods for their only headline tour of 2012 this June, July and August. With 14 stops including the sold out Splendour in the Grass Festival and support from Horrorshow and Briggs, this is one you can’t afford to miss.

Adelaidians should come on down to Fowlers Live this Friday 4th May to see TZU kick off their ‘Beginning of the End’ Tour. I’ll be joining Chance Waters on stage for a special once off showcase of new material from his upcoming album ‘Infinity’.

Much love to all Australian Hip Hop supporters!
