Australia's premiere Hip Hop crew the Hilltop Hoods album 'State of the Art' has reached Platinum status after remaining at #1 for 2 weeks running on the ARIA Album Chart.

With the album spending its 2nd week at #1 for the Hilltop Hoods, it was the first time an Australian artist has spent more than one week at No.1 since April 2007 with Silverchair's 'Young Modern' album.

The shows also promise to bring together the best of local and international hip-hop artists with special guests Classified and Briggs joining the national travelling bill.
