If its hard and cracked like you said you are going to need to loose that topsoil before you through any type of seed down, otherwise youre wasting your time.
I would roundup, wait 4 days and roundup again. Wait another 7 days and Then i suggest you go to the box store and rent a power rake. Run that thing all over the lawn to loosen the soil, groom out and throw down ryegrass seed. It will be a quick sprouting grass but if it gets real hot there it wont do as well. Id never recommend zoysia but its a tough low maint grass. Personally i would stick with Bermuda. Good luck.
Ps dont use a tiller. It will prob grow too deep and result in even more weeds making its way up. Allow the grass you plant to grow to a good height before you cut and keep it on the high side to help block any weeds from sprouting.
