Underground Hip Hop Group the 67 Mob return with their long awaited debut album "Raising the Bar"

Debut video of the title track "Raising the Bar" featuring Reggae Legend Cutty Ranks!!!

Aug 18, 2009 – Underground Hip hop group the 67 Mob emerged on the scene circa 2005 performing in legendary underground spots like the Pyramid, Remote Lounge and Club Snitch and immediately drew attention as soon as they touched the stage. Delivering punchlines and flows to even the toughest of skeptics and earning their respect. The Mob then almost as suddenly as they had emerged on the underground scene seemed to have vanished.

What wasn't immediately seen is that the group retreated back to their home base of Bensonhurst Brooklyn to plan their take over of Hip Hop. With a newly built studio and newly imprinted Independent label, 67 Records LLC, the group looked to work with only one exclusive producer for their debut and Wu Tang alumni producer Bronze Nazareth answered the call. Although they chose to work only with one producer "Rasing the Bar" features a veritable who's who of the Hip hop community.

67 Mob have had the honor and privilege to work with hip hop legends that include, Bronze Nazareth, Mastah Killa, Phillie, Cool G Rap, Sean Price, AZ, BuckShot, Canabis, Planet Asia, Buckshot, Killah Priest and Reggae Legend Cutty Ranks. Cutty features on the title track single "Raising the Bar" the link for the video is included below.  "Raising the Bar" the album is set for release on September 29, 2009 and is sure to be an event that will leave wack hip hop music sleeping with the fishes.
