Band Story
Black Mob: Montreal’s Voice of the Streets, United Through "Mob Music"
Since their formation in 2001, Black Mob has been a driving force in Montreal’s underground hip-hop scene—a collective built on resilience, raw talent, and an unwavering commitment to telling the truth through music. Nearly a decade into their journey, the Mob stands older, wiser, and more focused than ever, continuing to push boundaries while remaining grounded in the community that raised them.
Comprised of members Q, Key, Senior, and PO, Black Mob isn’t just a rap group—it’s a brotherhood. Each member brings a distinct voice and unique perspective, shaped by personal experiences and struggles. Their lyrical content is diverse and deeply personal, reflecting a philosophy that each artist should express their own reality. When those voices converge, the result is “Mob Music”—a sound that’s as multifaceted as the city streets it was born from.
Black Mob’s presence onstage is undeniable. They've lit up venues across Montreal, from local community centers to international stages. One of their most notable performances was alongside Grammy Award-winning reggae icon Michael Rose (of Black Uhuru fame) at the 2007 Montreal International Reggae Festival. Their collaboration with Rose on the single “Number One (Favorite Girl)” has earned acclaim both locally and internationally, adding a dancehall swagger to their hard-hitting hip-hop foundation.
Their stage résumé also includes an opening slot for Collie Buddz at The Club Saint, anchoring the downtown scene, and performances at grassroots events like the LaSalle Community Center’s grand opening and the inaugural WIBCA (West Island Black Community Association) fundraiser. These performances aren’t just gigs—they’re statements. They’re about showing the next generation that it's possible to rise above, represent your truth, and give back to your roots.
Black Mob’s catalog includes collaborations with reggae legend Junior Reid on the socially charged single “Hatin’ (Young Generation)”, a track that challenges generational divides and speaks truth to the streets. Both “Number One” and “Hatin’” were produced by Apex Productionz, the Grammy-nominated team behind 50 Cent’s “I Get Money,” cementing Black Mob’s status as a crew worthy of global attention.
Their City On Fire mixtape and singles like “Hatin’” have placed them firmly on the radar as one of the most promising hip-hop collectives out of Canada. With hometown support rallying from Montreal’s West Island to overseas fans, Black Mob continues to release solo and group mixtapes, building a loyal following along the way.
Currently, the Mob is in the studio putting the finishing touches on their second mixtape and debut studio album—projects that promise to deliver more of their signature “Mob Music”: streetwise, conscious, and uncompromising. They’re also laying the groundwork for their own imprint, Go Get It Records Inc., a platform for not just their music, but for the next generation of voices coming out of Montreal.
Looking ahead, Black Mob envisions a future where they are recognized not only as trailblazers in the Montreal scene, but as one of the most impactful independent rap movements across North America. With hustle, vision, and unmatched chemistry, the Mob is coming—and they’re bringing the city with them.
