About

A TAV Curator's Pick.

An abrasive alloy of experimental hip-hop, industrial, hardcore punk - there was nothing that shook the rap game in the 2010s more than the feral chaos of Death Grips. Made up of drummer and producer Zach Hill and fronted by MC Ride, the duo signalled their hostile intent with their mixtape Exmilitary. But it was with their 2012 debut album, The Money Store, that Death Grips became an incendiary phenomenon. Here, Hill’s bizarre samples and glitchy electronics served as the munition, while Ride hurls anarchic vocal grenades in a barrage of unadulterated ferocity. Raw, unhinged and apocalyptic - The Money Store seeks to destroy and disorient, but if you survive, it will be the most visceral musical experience of your life.

Death Grips follow up Exmilitary with their Epic Records debut, The Money Store. The album builds on Exmilitary's unique punk rap sound and explores new territory with standout tracks "Get Got", "Blackjack", and "I've Seen Footage". 

“The Money Store is an important record that's also compelling, loaded with kinetic blows against the empire and fully stuffed with that attractive maverick spirit.” – AllMusic
