"Pure Grinding" received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics.

The music video was released September 3, 2015. The video displays two lives of men: one man works in the sweaty heat of the desert working in a quarry pick-axing and piling stone bricks on his truck. When the man returns home he finds overdue bills, and an argumentative wife or mother which then left him. He then worked hard to pay off the overdue bills and eventually succeeded on it. The other man is a rich and criminal man. He and his gang head out and rob a gas station and even shoot and kill the owner. They next attempt to rob a bank. The men use their guns to scare the employees and hold a few against their will so they rob the safe. When the man and his partners reach the safe they start stacking their money until the alarm sounds and the men flee. As the gang escapes, one man locks the boss in the safe with the money and the video ends with the man enranged and begins to wait for his arrest.
