Menacing, low-slung street anthems defined by sliding sub-bass and bleak storytelling. The definitive sound of South London's concrete landscape at midnight.
This is the sound of the city after the streetlights flicker on. It is heavy, uncompromising, and deeply rooted in the pavement of South London. The music is built on a foundation of sliding 808 sub-bass that feels like a physical weight, paired with icy, minimalist synth loops that never resolve. It doesn't try to be catchy; it tries to be real, capturing a sense of claustrophobia and constant alertness.
What makes 67 distinctive is their collective chemistry and the specific production palette of Carns Hill. While other drill artists lean into frantic energy, 67 often maintains a cold, deadpan delivery that is far more intimidating. The use of masks and aliases adds a layer of mythic anonymity to the music, turning personal stories into a broader, more cinematic representation of urban survival and systemic tension.
Start with 'Let's Lurk' for the definitive anthem of the era, then move into 'In Skengs We Trust' to hear the raw, foundational sound that birthed the UK drill movement. It is essential listening for anyone trying to understand the evolution of British rap over the last decade.
67 (pronounced six-seven) are a British music group and street gang in the UK drill scene originally composed of members LD, Monkey, Dimzy, Liquez, ASAP and SJ. Having gained notoriety following the police shooting of Chris Kaba, the group has been labelled a criminal gang by the Metropolitan Police, and had several shows shut down using the controversial Form 696, including their first UK tour after it sold out.
