67 is a British drill group composed of rappers LD,[1] Monkey, Dimzy, Liquez, ASAP and SJ.[2] The group also goes by the name 674.[citation needed]

They are best known for their 2016 track "Lets Lurk". They were nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2016 MOBO Awards.

The group has been labelled a "criminal gang" by the police, and had their first UK tour shut down. The first show to be shut down was the London show, with others following after.

History

67 formed in Brixton Hill, South London, in 2014.[3] They are best known for their 2016 track "Lets Lurk" featuring Giggs, which hit number 66 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] and whose instrumental was used by Big Shaq in his 2017 parody track "Man's Not Hot".[5]

Legal issues

In 2014, Scribz was issued an ASBO that banned him from making and performing music for two years.[12][13] Following this, Scribz donned a mask and changed his artist name to LD, with his first tune under the new moniker being "Live Corn".[7] However in 2016, Scribz's ASBO order came to an end and then he released a tune called Wicked and Bad in which he sent for opposing gangs 150,17 and CT (formally part of GAS gang). He also mentions in this song that him (Scribz) and LD are one and the same person. In 2017, he was jailed for possession of a knife.[1][14] The group has been labelled a "criminal gang" by the police,[15] and had their first UK tour shut down.[16] In July 2018, Dimzy shared an open letter accusing the police and media of "scapegoating" their music.[17] In 2019, R6 and others were arrested for running a county line; the group was sentenced to a combined 61 years.[8]
