The first, The Money Store, was released on April 24th. The second album, No Love Deep Web, was scheduled to be released in Fall 2012, but the label seemed unwilling to officially release it yet.

On June 8, 2014 the double album The Powers That B was announced, with the release of its first half, Niggas On The Moon, as a free download. The group publicly announced their apparent disbanding on July 2, 2014, cancelling their scheduled tour dates, and claiming they still planned to release the second half of the album, Jenny Death, later in 2014. After much speculation, it was finally announced it would be released on March 31, 2015. A new tour was announced on March 24. On October 21st of the same year, they uploaded a video to their YouTube page titled "Bottomless Pit", along with posting on their social media pages that this would be the title for their next album.

On May 22nd, 2017, the band released the 22-minute EP Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix), announcing that they were "working on a new Death Grips album".
