Clipse Returns, Releases Album with Major Collaborators

Clipse, composed of brothers Pusha T and Malice, have released 'Let God Sort Em Out,' their first album in 15 years, produced entirely by Pharrell Williams and featuring artists like Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and Tyler, the Creator. The song 'Chains & Whips' includes a Kendrick Lamar verse that generated industry discussion for its perceived references to Drake, prompting Clipse to negotiate the album's release outside Universal Music Group because of concerns over the lyrics. Fans noted Kendrick Lamar's absence from the 'Chains & Whips' music video, though the video itself received praise for its surreal style. Clipse's comeback has included notable appearances at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton runway show and an NPR Tiny Desk concert, highlighting their cultural and stylistic impact. The duo is set to embark on their first North American tour in over 15 years, with significant anticipation from fans and media. Their return underscores a renewed emphasis on lyricism and creativity in hip-hop.
