Anderson Paak’s 2016 album Malibu will forever be one of my all time favourite albums ever released. Although his latest album Ventura may be even better! Paak’s ever so smooth vocals over a fusion of hip hop, funk and R&B never fails to blow my mind!

Hilltop Hoods have COUNTLESS great songs, I mean who doesn’t love belting out the lyrics to Cosby Sweater or 1955. Their latest album is nothing less than their previous, providing us with new anthems which will be sure to get the crowd dancing and singing!
