{"title":"Death Grips","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Death Grips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath Grips formed in Sacramento, California in 2010 around drummer Zach Hill (previously of Hella and other experimental rock acts), vocalist MC Ride (Stefan Burnett), and producer Andy Morin (Flatlander). Their initial mixtape Exmilitary (2011) gained online attention, leading to a major-label signing with Epic Records. The band's notoriously confrontational relationship with Epic culminated in their unauthorized release of No Love Deep Web (October 2012) directly to fans via free download, with explicit cover art that resulted in their being dropped by the label. They have continued releasing material through Harvest Records and direct-to-fan distribution. The band briefly announced their dissolution in July 2014 but reactivated by the end of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath Grips' sound combines experimental hip hop, industrial hip hop, noise rap, punk rap, and digital hardcore with MC Ride's shouted, abrasive vocal delivery and dense electronic production. Their work is widely cited as one of the defining experimental hip hop projects of the 2010s and has influenced subsequent waves of noise rap and experimental electronic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExmilitary (2011, Third Worlds) - free mixtape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Money Store (2012, Epic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Love Deep Web (2012, Third Worlds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment Plates (2013, Third Worlds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Powers That B (2015, Harvest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottomless Pit (2016, Third Worlds\/Harvest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear of the Snitch (2018, Third Worlds\/Harvest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest and direct-to-fan pressings of the Death Grips catalog have been issued in extensive color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Death Grips typically start with The Money Store (2012). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hip-hop-vinyl-records\"\u003eHip-Hop\/Rap\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/2010s-vinyl-records\"\u003e2010s\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"death-grips-the-money-store-cd","title":"The Money Store CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eA blistering, feral and intense second album from a band who show no signs of selling out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540732227767,"sku":"210000034791","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/1967187.jpg?v=1781154035"},{"product_id":"death-grips-no-love-deep-web-vinyl","title":"No Love Deep Web LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo Love Deep Web is the controversial second studio album from Sacramento, CA experimental hip-hop act Death Grips - featuring vocalist Stefan \"MC Ride\" Burnett and production team Zach Hill and Andy \"Flatlander\" Morin - which the group originally leaked for free online in October of 2012 due to release complications with Epic Records who subsequently dropped them. \"-runforcoverrecords\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540871852215,"sku":"210000036302","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/81eek73ixrl-sl1400.jpg?v=1781154565"},{"product_id":"death-grips-the-money-store-vinyl","title":"The Money Store LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most unlikely major label signees Sacramento punk-rap outfit death grips release their second album 'the money store' via Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540901277879,"sku":"210000032093","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/death-grips-the-money-store-lp.png?v=1781154660"},{"product_id":"death-grips-death-grips-bottomless-pit-vinyl","title":"Death Grips Bottomless Pit LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 13-track, 35 minute affair includes the previously released track \"Hot Head\" and the recently unveiled \"Eh.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540924477623,"sku":"210000032094","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/71atdxqtsl-sl1500.jpg?v=1781154739"},{"product_id":"death-grips-year-of-the-snitch-cd","title":"Year of the Snitch CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith sharp beats and chaotic rhythms, Death Grips' \"Year of the Snitch\" rips through conventions, giving listeners an electrifying jolt.
