"The Hard Road" is the title track of Hilltop Hoods' 2006 album and its second single, issued by Obese Records on CD, with the video tucked onto the disc, and on 12-inch vinyl. Matt Lambert and Daniel Smith wrote it, Suffa produced, and DJ Debris works the turntables.
Underneath it sits a sample of "Out in the Woods", a Leon Russell composition, and the Australian hip-hop crew build the whole track on that borrowed groove, which lends it a dusty, crate-dug grit.
