  • It refers to radio code “10-67” used by various public safety agencies:

    Dead body found and/or fatality being investigated on scene.

    Adjacent to 10-66 which instructs dispatch to notify the medical examiner.

    It’s the classic gangsta rap boast of “check it out i murdered someone, I’m a tough hard-boiled badass”

    The kids saying it out loud don’t realize that was what the rapper they’re quoting was referencing, though.



  • In Philadelphia,
    Which is the town the rapper Skrilla is from,
    The police department uses many of the same “10-codes” in their radio communications as many other law enforcement agencies.

    A 10-67 is used to signal that a dead body has been found or that a probable fatality is being investigated on scene.

    The kids who are parroting it don’t know what Skrilla meant when he was saying 67…

    But what he was implying with that lyric is that the police just found a body and that he may be responsible for it.

    Akin to boasting: “hear that radio call just now on the police scanner? I’m the one who merc’d that sucka. Remember that, and don’t fuck with me.”
