  Interview 2016 is the second EP by American experimental hip hop group Death Grips, self-released by the band on March 22, 2016. Consisting of six instrumental tracks, the EP acts as a soundtrack album to a previously released interview video with host Matthew Hoffman, which featured the tracks instead of the interview audio.
  
  Interview 2016 was released on vinyl as the second LP in a 2LP package alongside Death Grips' other instrumental album Fashion Week for Record Store Day 2016. Individually, Interview 2016 was also self-released by the band on cassette.

  Pitchfork Media critic Zoe Camp was positive in her review, stating: "While MC Ride might be perceived as the alpha and omega of Death Grips, Interview 2016 underscores that [Zach] Hill and [Andy] Morin are quite formidable on their own." Camp also thought that the release was "far more interesting than Fashion Week, a full-length twice its size, and it suggests that Death Grips' strength as an instrumental entity shouldn’t be underestimated."
