So something pretty interesting has been going on this week
involving Death Grips.
Just about any time this group (duo?) updates any of
their social media websites the Internet pays close attention.
Any band will
urge you to follow them on facebook or twitter for their latest updates and
whatnot, but DG takes that notion to another level.
Little is known about
frontman MC Ride and Flatlander the producer. Their drummer Zach Hill has
decent following. In 2011 DG released Exmilitary,
a dark experimental hiphop album that gained some talk on the Internet.
Death
Grips quickly worked on The Money Store which
reached and even broader audience. They began to tour this album, but realized
that this did not provide them with enough time to work on their latest and most
controversial album, NO LOVE DEEP WEB. The
Money Store was produced and released under EPIC Records, and can be found
in just about any Wal-Mart or Best Buy.
Like I said, following on this band on
social media is pretty much where you need to keep updated on these guys now. NO LOVE DEEP WEB was produced by EPIC
but because the record wouldn't be released when the band wanted it out, DG
deiced to breach contract and release the album on their own for free.
By the
next day their official website had been shut down.
The reason for todays post
has been their DXDG video series. A few days ago DG has posted a series of
brief videos containing some footage of flatlander, a POV drum shot, and a
death grips toy helicopter.
Fans have come together to uncover the meaning of
these videos and realized that DXDG is in reference to their performance at
South By South West music festival.
It was understood that the band member were
going to be wearing POV cameras during their performance at the festival.
Today
the video footage from the performance has been edited to an official video for
Lock Your Doors from NLDW. Enjoy the
visuals.
I've got some shit ta say just for the fuck of it
