Laura Snapes: When Zach Hill was interviewed about Death Grips for this site, he said, "We're people who aren't ruled by money." It made me think about the actual realism of Death Grips' financial well-being. You can't live off nothing.

But when you start to think about things like having a family, you think: "I can't do that if I wanna keep doing this." I don't mean to lay it out as a sacrifice-- like I have to choose music or a family-- but in some ways that is true, at least financially.

All right, I’ll play ‘Blind.’ It was just crazy,...

Jesse Leach: Yeah it’s funny, I basically said to management and everybody, “I don’t want to know anything, don’t tell me anything” so I couldn’t even tell you when the record is coming out [Laughs] I don’t know if we’re doing a single before the record.
