67 (rap group)

67 (pronounced six-seven) are a British hip hop collective originally composed of rappers LD, Monkey, Dimzy, Liquez, ASAP and SJ. The group has expanded since its inception, with many new members joining. They are best known for their 2016 track "Lets Lurk", and are widely regarded as highly influential on the UK drill scene. They were nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2016 MOBO Awards.

The group has been labelled a "criminal gang" by the police, and has had several shows shut down, including their first UK tour after it sold out due to the controversial Form 696.

History
67 formed in Brixton Hill, South London, and rose to fame in 2014. They are known as one of the early adopters of the UK drill sound, with them being the first group to gain more mainstream popularity. They are best known for their 2016 track "Lets Lurk" featuring Giggs, whose instrumental was used by Big Shaq in his 2017 parody track "Man's Not Hot". They saw chart success again in 2017, when the single "Glorious Twelfth" peaked at 77 on the official charts.

Ban from music
In 2014, Scribz was issued an ASBO that banned him from making and performing music for two years. Following this, Scribz began wearing a mask to conceal his identity and took on the alias LD, with his first song as LD being "Live Corn". After his ASBO came to an end in 2016, he released "Wicked and Bad" as Scribz in which he sent for opposing gangs and revealed that he was LD. In 2017, he was imprisoned for possession of a knife. The group has been labelled a "criminal gang" by the police, and had their first UK tour shut down. In July 2018, Dimzy shared an open letter accusing the police and media of "scapegoating" their music.

Drug trafficking
In 2018, 67 was identified as running five county lines to neighbouring counties; 16 affiliates of the group were arrested in July 2019 and sentenced to a total of 61 years. In 2019, LD (Scribz) and ASAP were jailed for 4.5 years each for their involvement in county lines drug dealing; LD was released in November 2021.

Murder of rival drill group member
On February 25, 2015, a member of the drill group and street gang, 150, Dwayne Simpson aka SQ, was stabbed to death by a member of 67 over a gang dispute.

Murder of Cheyon Evans
On 14 June 2019, a 67 member named Fernando Pope aka Giant/G.I. stabbed 18-year-old Cheyon Evans to death. Cheyon Evans was known as 'Stompz' and allegedly was apart of the 37/OJB gang with him also having ties to the CT gang based in Clapham, who are one of 67's main rivals. Giant was found guilty of the murder on 6 January 2020, and was subsequently sentenced to life with parole after 25 years.

Shooting of Chris Kaba
On 5 September 2022, Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old rapper and member of 67, was shot dead by police in Streatham Hill, London, England.
