Era & Context
Released without warning after announcing their breakup and then un-breaking up, Year of the Snitch saw Death Grips incorporating noise rock and outsider music influences into their most unpredictable record. Collaborations with members of Shrek Is Love brought an eerie, carnivalesque quality that destabilized even their most devoted fans' expectations.
