Video: Death Grips - Full Moon (Death Classic)

I’ve yet to come across something coming from Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio camp that hasn’t been top quality. This video from Ruth Hogben and Karlie Kloss is no exception. Pretty awesome that she featured the very bass heavy instrumental version of Death Grips ’ “Guillotine.” Such a killer tune. The “Fuck Me” video is part of SHOWstudio’s “Fashion Fetish” series of fashion films, performances and multi-media pieces created entirely by women working in fashion. And because the non instrumental version is "Guillotine" will scramble brains, here it is for you. BAM! [...]

Ryan Gosling sightings had everyone wet, but that did little to settle the dustbowl-like conditions more suited to a Joad family reunion than a music festival. So, on a day when folks were being wallet-raped up to $10 for bandanas, let us take a moment to salute hard-working and under-appreciated nosehair. Sure, we stuff stockings with shiny little gadgets designed to tame these these functional flagella around the holidays, but deep in the heart of Tatooine Texas, hirsute nares were a cheap and fashionable Fun Fun Fun Fest 6 coping mechanism. Following a lovely outdoor [...]

Whether or not you enjoy Death Grips depends on what you want out of your music. If you're searching to replicate the disorientation of a drill sergeant screaming seig heils at you while you attempt to asphyxiate yourself with a plastic bag, this will be your favorite rap group of all-time. If not, they exist as more ammunition for why you never wanted to be all that you could be. I'm not sure what it is about Sacramento. That's where these guys call home - the Valley cowtropolis famed for Phil Jackson ire, a [...]

Everyone seems all a'buzz over Tyler the Creator right now with the release of his Goblin LP today, but just between us this new Death Grips Exmilitary mixtape is where it's at. For reals, this shit goes hard. I don't know much about its creators yet, but sometimes I prefer not to. Like how I was initially really blown away by OFWGKTA, but slightly cooled on them once I realized their satanic brand of shock rap was not much more than schtick for publicity. This way I get to keep pretending Death Grips is [...]

• Death Grips - Guillotine

While everyone else is either dancing in the streets behind a certain dead someone, watching someone famous deejay another famous person's song or saying that the recording industry is dead due to them not selling records anymore, people are still killing shit the right way. Enter: DEATH GRIPS. Zach Hill (the drummer behind math rock riot band Hella) and 5 of his homies are just setting California's capital ablaze with this out of control shit. When the above video was shown, it seemed like every nerd and underground denizen jumped for motherfucking joy at the thought of dudes being allowed [...]

Being a huge Zach Hill fan, I have been closely and eagerly following the news surrounding his new Death Grips project, offering as it does a means of holding over my appetite until the new Hella record drops. Hill is not only a frighteningly virtuosic percussionist; he is also one of the most consistently rewarding and prolific experimental musicians/composers alive. Apparently he now belongs to Death Grips, which is ostensibly a hip-hop outfit, inasmuch as hip-hop is music featuring an MC who rhymes. Filling the lyrical duties is an imposingly bearded friend of Hill's whom, according to [...]

I've been getting a lot of e-mails pointing my ears toward Death Grips . There's talk around the blog-o-sphere about who is involved with this project and how. Names like Zach Hill keep coming up, too, which doesn't surprise me since some of the production moves on this track remind me of his latest album . There's also a lot of talk about this being rap music. Though I'm not one to step in and say what genres can and can't be, let me just say this: If this music [...]

Holy shit. So drummer Zach Hill has been a busy bee lately. Some jam sessions with friends have evolved into the experimental mutant hip-hop project known as Death Grips. Check it out below, "Full Moon" gives new meaning to "going hard". People who are prone to epilepsy should probably not watch the video. In fact, they probably shouldn't listen to this song at all. The rest of you can pick up the track below. Don't forget to check out Death Grips' website for more. Thanks to Altered Zones and The Needle [...]

• Death Grips - Full Moon (Death Classic)

Recorded over a stretch of five months, Death Grips may or may not be an avant hip hop project involving Zach Hill and some Sacramento homies. Save for a music video featuring the angriest black man alive with some gnarly neck veins, the identities behind Death Grips are purposely obscured. Too little is known about Death Grips to speculate. This could be a one-off record in Zach Hill's hungry blob of side projects or the rumblings of a hostile takeover. I plan to simply enjoy the ever-loving f...
