The group officially formed December 21, 2010, and released its first single and video for "Full Moon (Death Classic)" on March 8, 2011. On April 26, 2011, they released their debut album, the mixtape Exmilitary. NBCNewYork.com called it "an intense, dark listen."
On February 27, 2012 Death Grips signed with Epic and released two albums the same year. The first official album, The Money Store, was released on April 24. Music videos were made for the singles "Blackjack," "Get Got," and "Fever (Aye Aye)." The track "Lost Boys" was also released alone with no video accompaniment.
After a month and a half long ARG involving the deep web, and a spat with Epic over its release, Death Grips leaked the album No Love Deep Web on its website on October 1st, 2012. This resulted in someone closing down the band's website. The band said it was done by the label, which the label denied shortly.
On November 13, 2013, the band spontaneously made available their third LP within two years, Government Plates. The album was posted to their soundcloud page and website, much like No Love Deep Web, but without any sort of lead up or prior hype, except one single, Birds released months beforehand, taking most listeners by complete surprise.
On June 8, 2014, Death Grips released the first half of a new double album featuring Björk, The Powers That B. Disc 1 is titled Niggas on the Moon, and features heavy sampling of Björk's vocal snippets. Disc 2 is titled Jenny Death.
On July 2, 2014, Death Grips announced on Facebook that they have canceled all tour dates, and are finished as a band, stating: "we are now at our best and so Death Grips is over. we have officially stopped. all currently scheduled live dates are canceled. our upcoming double album "the powers that b" will still be delivered worldwide later this year via Harvest/Third Worlds Records. Death Grips was and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision. above and beyond a "band". to our truest fans, please stay legend."
On March 24, 2015, Death Grips announced a world tour, confirming the group is currently active. Their double album, The Powers That B was released officially on March 31, 2015.
On February 7, 2016 the single "Hot Head" from their upcoming album "Bottomless Pit" was dropped.
On March 13, 2016, a video was posted on their official channel of the band being interviewed by Matthew Hoffman. The original audio was removed and replaced with instrumentals made by the band.
On March 18, 2016, the band released more information about the upcoming album, Bottomless Pit. The front and back covers were shown as well as the track list.
Bottomless Pit was released on May 6, 2016, with "Hot Head" and "Eh" as singles. Music videos were produced for "Eh" and "Giving Bad People Good Ideas".
On May 30, 2016, Death Grips released a new track, "More Than the Fairy" featuring musician Les Claypool.
On May 22, 2017, Death Grips announced they were working on a new album, while simultaneously releasing a track/mix entitled "Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)", featuring 7 new songs.
In March of 2018, the trio posted two photos on their Instagram account (@bbpoltergiest) stating that they were working on the new record with Andrew Adamson, the director of the Shrek series, and Justin Chancellor, the bassist from Tool.
On March 22, 2018, the band announced on their website (thirdworlds.net) that their new album "Year of the Snitch" was "coming soon..."
April 6, 2018, the cover artwork for "Year of the Snitch" is posted on the band's Facebook page.
On June 22nd, Year of the Snitch was released accompanied by five singles: Shitshow, Hahaha, Flies, Black Paint and Streaky. Rolling Stone would go on to name Black Paint song of the summer.

The lyrics to Death Grips's song "Have A Sad Cum" are quite cryptic and up for interpretation, but one possible explanation is that the song delves into the dark side of pleasure and addiction. The repetition of "wasting time feels good" suggests that the singer is indulging in something that ultimately offers no value, while "have a sad cum" implies a melancholic form of release. The references to blood and the repeated use of "six-six-six" could suggest an obsession with self-destruction, while the line "black, black birds" may refer to ominous or foreboding thoughts. The repeated assertion of "I'm busy" may suggest an attempt to distract oneself from negative thoughts or feelings.
Overall, the lyrics of "Have A Sad Cum" paint a bleak picture of addiction, self-destruction, and despair. The song appears to explore the idea that even pleasurable experiences can have a dark side, and that indulging in such experiences can lead to emptiness and degradation.

I, I, I
The repetition of the pronoun 'I' signifies an intense focus on the self.
Six-six-six

Have a sad cum, bb
This shocking sentence suggests the artist is encouraging someone to experience pleasure from something that is typically seen as negative or disappointing.
Wasting time feels god
The misspelling of 'good' as 'god' could be interpreted as a reference to the pleasure associated with procrastination or idleness. The lack of urgency and perceived leisure time can be pleasurable.

Ah
This could be an expression of pleasure, such as during sexual activity or another pleasurable experience.
Feels
This word could be interpreted as a desire for sensation or to feel something strongly.

This song has brought so much pain to my mind, and that's how it got me out of the misery of being addicted to porn. Thank you Mr. Grips
charmolypi
the creepiest yet the most beautiful track I have ever heard, I feel like listening to it on any drug would lead to a bad trip, because even when I'm sober I feel weird listening to this.
