Released on April 25, 2011, Exmilitary introduced Death Grips with a confrontational and experimental sound that blended hip hop with noise, punk, and industrial influences. The group, consisting of MC Ride, Zach Hill, and Andy Morin, assembled the mixtape using dense sampling, distorted production, and aggressive vocal delivery. Rather than following traditional hip hop structure, the project emphasized intensity, repetition, and collage-like construction, drawing from a wide range of sources including rock, punk, and electronic textures. The opening track Beware sets the tone with spoken-word sampling and layered instrumentation before shifting into heavy percussion and shouted vocals. Guillotine became one of the project’s most recognizable tracks, built around minimal rhythm and repetitive phrasing. Spread Eagle Cross the Block expands the sonic palette with dense sampling and shifting dynamics, reinforcing the project’s abrasive style. Lord of the Game continues the aggressive approach, blending rhythmic loops with distorted textures. Takyon (Death Yon) accelerates the pacing with rapid vocal delivery and mechanical rhythms. Cut Throat (Instrumental) functions as a brief transition before Klink returns to a heavier groove. Culture Shock and 5D further emphasize layered sampling and abrupt structural changes. Thru the Walls continues the confrontational tone with fragmented rhythms and shouted vocals. Known for It and I Want It I Need It (Death Heated) highlight the group’s use of repetition and collage, combining rhythmic loops with contrasting textures. The closing track, Blood Creepin, maintains the dense production and aggressive delivery, ending the project without shifting into a conventional resolution. Exmilitary presents Death Grips’ early aesthetic through raw production, aggressive performance, and unconventional structure. The mixtape blends hip hop rhythms with noise and industrial elements, emphasizing intensity over traditional arrangement. By combining fragmented samples, heavy percussion, and shouted vocals, the project established the group’s identity and laid the foundation for their later releases.
