Death Grips is the first extended play by experimental hip hop group Death Grips. It was released on March 8, 2011, as a free download directly from the group's website in ZIP file format.
After forming on December 21, 2010, in Sacramento, California, Death Grips released their first song "Full Moon (Death Classic)" on March 8, 2011, along with a corresponding music video and a free self-titled EP.[1] The EP consists of six tracks; the latter three of which were later renamed and rereleased the following month on their debut mixtape, Exmilitary.[2] [3]
Following the release of Exmilitary on April 25, 2011, the EP was removed from the band's website, however, "Full Moon (Death Classic)" and "Face Melter (How To Do Impossible Things)" remained available for a short time. "Full Moon (Death Classic)" was released as the band's debut single on April 27, 2011, and was the only song from the EP still available on streaming services, and for digital download. However, in February 2023, the majority of Death Grips’ discography was made available for free download on the Third Worlds website, which included the EP.[4]
The EP was originally distributed in a ZIP file with no tracklist metadata. As a result the tracklist below is sorted by alphabetical order.
