In 2001, Clayton (under the name DJ /rupture) released "Gold Teeth Thief", initially as an internet download. The mixtape consists of 43 tracks in 68 minutes, including breakcore, ragga and Arabic folk music. It was named as one of the "50 Records of the Year" by "The Wire" in 2001. The track was released by the Violent Turd label in 2002. Reviewing "Gold Teeth Thief" on AllMusic, Joshua Glazer wrote: ""Gold Teeth Thief" is an impossibly noisy and aggressive set, yet the earthy Jamaican vocals and blunted hip-hop beats counteract the sonic devastation, making it palatable, even at its most dissident."
