Released on November 13, 2013, this was released by Death Grips without any prior notice. It features some of their loudest and most experimental work. Some have been critical of the album, because a number of tracks don’t feature MC Ride very prominently. Due to the looping style of production, many songs simply feature a phrase or two being sampled in numerous ways.
Each track has a corresponding music video posted on the Death Grips YouTube page, leading some to view this album as a soundtrack.
Released independently at first, it also had a limited edition vinyl release on Record Store Day, which featured different artwork and a replica of the license plate featured on the cover.
