Hoota, the Central Coast rapper, is gearing up to release his highly-anticipated mixtape, ‘Bittersweet,’ on September 1, 2023. Crafted meticulously at the renowned Safe House Studios in Blacktown, this immersive mixtape showcases Hoota’s artistic growth and versatility as he delves into various musical styles, all while maintaining his signature tone and energy.
Since stepping up in 2020 with his debut single, ‘Jitterbugs,’ Hoota has been steadily building bars with infectious energy and signature tone. ‘Bittersweet’ marks a significant move for Hoota, as he collaborates closely with his talented engineer, Espa, and an array of beats by Grinny (All Day, Youngn Lipz, Lisi, That Kid Kearve). Together, Hoota and Espa meticulously honed each track to perfection, ensuring an immersive listening experience for fans.
‘Bittersweet’ boasts an impressive lineup of tracks that act as a cross-section of underground Australian Hip Hop. The mixtape showcases Hoota’s ability to adapt to various sonic landscapes. “Two-Bit Hustla” and “Ain’t No Friends” lay out bar after bar, all tied together with punchlines, while “All Along” signals a keen commercial sensibility – everything that ‘Bittersweet’ should be about.
Speaking about the creative process behind ‘Bittersweet,’ Hoota reveals, “This tape is me stepping into uncharted territory, experimenting with different vibes and discovering my feet and voice as an artist in my own right.” Hoota’s musical journey has been influenced by the Latino culture during his transformative years spent traveling through Central America, South America, and California. The impact of this cultural immersion can be heard in the choice of samples throughout the tape.
Hoota’s journey through the world of underground Australian Hip Hop continues to gain momentum. His dedication to his craft and willingness to experiment with new sounds make him a rising star worth keeping an eye on in the music scene.
