The 2012 release of "No Love Deep Web" saw Death Grips self-distribute their album online, complete with explicit artwork, a move that challenged traditional industry models and further cemented their reputation for uncompromised artistic vision.
- The album was famously released for free download on Death Grips' official website on October 1, 2012, bypassing their record label Harvest Records.
- The explicit imagery used for the album's cover art, a photograph of a penis with the album title written on it, caused controversy and led to the album being banned from some retailers.
- Following its online release, "No Love Deep Web" was officially released on CD and vinyl by Harvest Records in March 2013, after a period of label disputes.
