[20][21] In June 2019, Death Grips released a previously unreleased megamix entitled Gmail and the Restraining Orders for Warp Records' 30th anniversary.

[22] Ride's vocal delivery has been described as "(a) visceral and poetic form of rapping, resembling a blend of hardcore punk and spoken word performance".

[24] On his review for Death Grips' Exmilitary, Nate Patrin commented on Ride's vocals: "Monolithic and harsh, his voice sounds powerful doubling up the beats to the point where it doesn't even seem like a problem when it's halfway buried in the mix.

[26] Ride's lyrics are described as "chants and rants, rhythmic elements that are barely intelligible - though full of bleak, deranged, or drugged-out thoughts".

[27] Ride's lyrics engage with various topics, including sex, drugs, addiction, economic collapse, insanity, suicide, occultism, paranoia, and techno-futurism.

[28] John Calvert of The Quietus wrote, "Death Grips embroils MC Ride's consciousness in a schematised Braque-esque maze, a gloaming constellation, a synaptic thing.

"[29] Chase Woodruff of Slant Magazine argued that Ride's lyrics "hint at a contemporary, vaguely political edge to all his rage and alienation".

[30] James Ubaghs of The Quietus wrote that Ride's "paranoid, politically charged ravings might not present any sort of solution to the world's myriad ills, but he is at the least paying close attention to how fucked things really are, and that's more than you can say for a lot of his contemporaries".

[31] In a Pitchfork interview, Ride stated that although he has favorite musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, he takes more inspiration from his internal struggles than human achievements.

He has a plus sign in a circular, inverted triangle tattoo inside a circle on his right arm; while traces of the Goat of Mendes, a raven, and the word "Death" are splayed on his back.
