clipping.

I'm almost positive these guys have received coverage on these forums in some capacity since they're a pretty good crossover for people who enjoy rap, but want something more challenging than what popular rap has to offer. Death Grips would fit in well on a tour ticket with these guys, since they share similar attitudes but different approaches.

Basically, clipping. goes minimal and puts its harsh production and borderline aural noise assault front and center, replacing "angry black guy screaming about drugs and paranoia" with "smooth black guy rapping about all of the other stuff rap raps about, but with sharply-written lyrics and self-awareness bordering on parody." So basically you get club bangers you can't dance to, hustle tracks with shrill screeching and bell chimes, and songs about a hot woman who likes to kill and eat people who think she's DTF.
