Named for Hampton Park, the outer Melbourne suburb where they met, Samoan rap squad HP Boyz mingle such intercontinental influences as Tupac, Scribe and J Hus, balancing evergreen hip-hop motifs with harder-edged drill menace. The trio’s hypnotic 2019 debut, “Blueprint”, blew up on social media, thanks to members HP YJ, HP Onit and HP MWAYS naturally trading verses with the seasoned solidarity of lifelong mates. The same year’s “Engineers” contrasts their raw, battle-ready flow with a delicate acoustic-guitar sample that's threaded throughout, while their 2020 EP 6 to the WORLD fiercely takes down pretenders over eerie, spacey production.
