Back catalogue: Hip Hop/R&B

Review: New 13 track album via Columba Records. LP vinyl is ltd to 500 copies & the CD format will increase in price to £7.77 after 30 days. This U.S. 3-piece will bring their heavyweight sonic intensity to the UK for an eight date tour of major cities in May-June. Strong press support across NME, Q, Uncut, Mojo, Clash & other music mags. Specialist radio support (XFM/6 Music).

Review: The third full-length from experimentalist punk/hip-hop trio Death Grips originally arrived in 2013, just a mere year on from their exceptionally warped debut LP The Money Store and its equally depraved sophomore follow up No Love Deep Web. Made up of math-rock drummer extraordinaire Zach Hill, programmer and synth mangler Andy Morin, and of course the confrontational MC Ride; Government Plates proved the collective were seemingly unable to artistically sit still, while refusing to exude a modicum of stagnation in their prolific early days. Celebrating its ten year anniversary, while just finishing up a chaotic headline set at this year's Outbreak Fest held in Manchester, the mystique and allure of Death Grips has only continued to swell with time, and this overlooked gem (as it falls between two of their most quintessential projects) couldn't be more in need of vital appreciation and reappraisal.
