Clipse's new album 'Let God Sort Em Out,' which is the duo's first since 2009's 'Til the Casket Drops,' will be released July 11. The album is available for pre-order on Clipse's website while its first single, 'Ace Trumpets,' is already out.
Formed by brothers Gene 'Malice' and Terrence 'Pusha T' Thornton, Clipse is credited with establishing Virginia as one of the East Coast's strongholds in hip-hop. The brothers were discovered by Pharrell Williams, a fellow Virginia Beach native, in the 1990s.
Williams helped the duo get signed to Elektra Records, where Clipse recorded their 1999 album 'Exclusive Audio Footage.' However, the album was shelved and the duo was dropped.
Williams then helped Clipse get signed to Arista Records, where they released their 2002 full-length project, 'Lord Willin'.' The album produced the hit singles 'Grindin',' 'When the Last Time' and 'Ma, I Don't Love Her.' It also reached the top 10 of the R&B/Hip-Hop and Billboard 200 charts and was later certified gold by the RIAA.
Clipse released two more successful albums – 2006's 'Hell Hath No Fury' and 2009's 'Til the Casket Drops' — before going on hiatus in 2010. Both Pusha T and No Malice pursued solo careers and put out several projects in the interim.
The brothers reunited as Clipse when they appeared on Kanye West's song 'Use This Gospel,' featured on his 2019 album, 'Jesus Is King.'
Since then, Clipse has performed regularly at Primavera Sound Barcelona, Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival and elsewhere.
Clipse's last U.S. tour before their was in 2010 when the duo completed the 'Away From Home Tour,' according to Billboard.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Justin Bieber, Clipse, BLACKPINK & More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Justin Bieber returns with an unexpected new album and an unexpected new sound, Clipse reunites for a triumphant set of new bangers, Deftones re-emerge as potent as ever and much more. Check out all of this week's picks below. More from Billboard Backstreet Boys Kick Off Sphere Residency With Larger-Than-Life Show in Las Vegas Scooter Braun Shares His Opinion on Justin Bieber's 'Swag' Vanessa Hudgens Expecting Second Baby With Husband Cole Tucker Justin Bieber, It's about as surprising as surprise drops get — Justin Bieber, one of the 10 greatest pop stars of the 21st century, returning from a four-year absence with a 21-track new set on about 10 hours' notice. And within a couple tracks of Swag, it's pretty clear this is Bieber as we've never really heard him before — stripped of most of his usual big pop trappings, with a much more organic-sounding, alt-R&B-focused sound aided by recognizable sonic architects like Dijon, and new primary artistic partner Carter Lang supporting his tender ballads of love and devotion. Fans hoping for an album full of 'Sorry's (or even 'Peaches'es) may be disappointed, but Beliebers who never stopped returning to the eerie confessionals of Journals or the hushed intimacy of Changes will undoubtedly be elated. Clipse, The first album for legendary rap duo Clipse in over 15 years, Let God Sort Em Out sees Pusha T and Malice reunited and locked in like the time off was just a long battery recharge. The first two tracks alone show the kind of purpose and focus few rap albums can manage across 10 times that long: opener 'The Birds Don't Sing' finds the brother duo paying heart-rending tribute to a late parent each, while explosive second cut 'Chains & Whips' invites the biggest rapper in the world along to take aim at their collective foes — including one obvious common enemy between at least two of them. It helps immensely, of course, that this reunion also includes another crucial member of the extended family: regular producer and occasional hook-singer Pharrell, whose beats invoke the grimy urgency of his '00s work for the duo without ever sounding like he's just playing the hits. BLACKPINK, 'Jump' After the solo bows of all four of its members over the past year — and with heightened global excitement around K-pop girl groups in general, thanks to the runaway success of Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters and its HUNTR/X protagonists — the time couldn't be much better for a BLACKPINK comeback. And luckily, the quartet has the song to do it with: 'JUMP' eschews the slowers, dubsteppier drops that have characterized most of BLACKPINK's biggest singles for a more frenetic, hardstyle-indebted synth breakdown and quaking beat that feels as exciting as anything the group has ever released. 'Are you not entertained?' LISA asks on the second verse, no doubt rhetorically. Deftones, 'My Mind Is a Mountain' 'We've been waiting here, patiently/ Locked in this state, clocking our time,' Deftones frontman Chino Moreno howls on the band's new single. Indeed, 'My Mind Is a Mountain' comes five years after the band's most recent album, 2020's Ohms, and sees the quintet immediately returning to its strengths: simultaneously lush and punishing guitar grooves over crashing-wave drums, with Moreno's anguished sensuality tying it all together. The millions of new fans the band has picked up over a half-decade of seemingly perpetual TikTok virality should be thrilled with their first taste of new Deftones. GIVĒON, Following his return to the Billboard Hot 100 this year with both the Teddy Swims collab 'Are You Even Real' and his own solo 'Twenties,' R&B hitmaker GIVĒON returns this week with the new album Beloved — his first 2022 debut Give or Take. The sound of Beloved is more classic '70s soul than modern R&B — check out the Al Green horns on 'Rather Be' of the Stylistics electric sitar of 'Twenties' and 'Numb' — but kept fresh by the distinctiveness of GIVĒON's voice, sonorous, soaring and forever exquisitely pained. Tyla, 'Is It' The new single from the South African global pop star slithers around a winding beat, with an earworm chorus of Tyla asking 'Is it wrong/ That I wanna get right with you?' and a requisite breakdown section that you can already tell is going to make for some highlight moments during live performances. 'We outside. We're catching party vibes,' Tyla told Billboard in June, and 'Is It' is strong evidence that those vibes have already been caught. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Clipse Drop New ‘Let God Sort Them Out' Album, Hip-Hop Fans Rejoice On X
Clipse, the duo of brothers Pusha T and Malice, last dropped an album in 2009 with Til The Casket Drops , giving way to King Push's strong solo career. With the duo reunited, the Clipse's new album, Let God Sort Them Out , is getting some early positive returns on X as Hip-Hop fans are joined in rejoicing. Let God Sort Them Out , the fourth album from the Brothers Thorton, is more of the pair's usual technical flair and clear diction, with the requisite brick talk that serves as a metaphor more than anything. With longtime producer and collaborator Pharrell Williams handling the entire bulk of production, the clear-eyed vision of Push and Malice never wavers. The album opens with 'The Birds Don't Sing,' featuring John Legend and Voices of Fire. Pusha T opens up with a moving verse depicting the passing of his mother, mentioning his young son, while also referring to his brother by his given first name. Malice continues the autobiographical bent with his verse centering on their father. An early crowd favorite follows in 'Chains & Whips,' which was previously heard last year when the brothers teased the track during a Louis Vuitton fashion show last year. However, the surprise appearance of Kendrick Lamar solidified the excitement, and K-Dot delivers a sinister verse that may or may not be directed toward a certain Canadian superstar. According to X, other highlights include 'P.O.V.' featuring a blistering verse from Tyler, The Creator, the previously-released 'Ace Trumpets,' and 'Inglorious Bastards' featuring their longtime partner, Ab-Liva. Nas also shows up on the track 'Chandeliers,' which appears on the tail end of the strong album title cut. Stove God Cooks, who works alongside Westside Gunn and the sprawling Griselda collective, shows up for 'F.I.C.O.,' as he's one of the top 'coke rap' stars in the game now. We've got reactions from X to Clipse dropping their new Let God Sort Them Out project below. Check out the album at your preferred DSPs below. — Photo: Getty Clipse Drop New 'Let God Sort Them Out' Album, Hip-Hop Fans Rejoice On X was originally published on

B-Side Bangers: Clipse (Pusha T And Malice)
Gregory Bojorquez This weekend in particular has been quite a treat for longstanding hip-hop fans, especially those with a soft spot for early-to-mid-2000s rap, thanks to sibling emcees Pusha T and Malice reuniting as the dynamic rap duo that go by Clipse. Let God Sort Em Out , their new album released this past Friday (July 11) after a 16-year break to pursue solo efforts and personal life, is a testament to the old saying that a bond between brothers is unbreakable. Lucky for us, this bond comes with the added bonus of genius-level lyricism backed by the production of Pharrell Williams. RELATED: B-Side Bangers – Michael Jackson Of course, the effortless musical connection that makes it so easy for Skateboard P to bless the bros with heat on this album is a bond in itself that's been growing for the better part of three decades and counting. From the start, Pusha T and Malice have grown up with the super producer both in life by way of Virginia (see: Pharrell's Piece By Piece LEGO biopic) and in the studio on virtually every album they released as a group. Despite well-documented label disputes that delayed singles and even albums, time proved that Clipse never needed to do more than make music on their own terms for a fanbase that clearly was willing to wait 16 years for a proper follow-up. All things considered though, these guys managed to amass a strong catalogue even with just three albums released prior to Let God Sort Em Out . As a small nod to their decades-spanning hustle, we put together a list of some of their more deeper cuts that will really show you just how busy they got in the studio at their peak. While we all know and love classic tracks like 'Grindin,' 'Hot Damn,' the speaker-thumping 'Mr. Me Too' and synth-savvy 'I'm Good' — don't let Pusha fool you and say Til the Casket Drops didn't give us any heat! — these b-sides will show a different side of the duo that you hear when the song wasn't necessarily made for Billboard. 'Let's Talk About It' (feat. Pharrell and Clipse) [2001] Album: Instructions by Jermaine Dupri Just A Memory' (feat. Clipse) [2005] Album: Duets: The Final Chapter ( aka Biggie Duets ) by The Notorious B.I.G. (Released posthumously) SEE ALSO
