What Are Clipse's First-Week Sales Projections For Their New LP ‘Let God Sort Em Out'?
Clipse reuniting for their new album Let God Sort Em Out has been one of the hottest topics of 2025, in large part due to a highly active rollout, Malice returning to Hip-Hop, and Pusha T dissing multiple rappers. The first-week sales projections for their fourth studio album have hit the timeline to a myriad of reactions. The popular Billboard-tracking X page Chart Data reported, via Hits Daily Double, that the duo's latest LP is set to sell 90,000 album-equivalent units in its first week and debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. If that comes true, this album would tie their 2002 debut album Lord Willin' for reaching the No. 4 spot, but fall behind it at the No. 2 spot on their list of first-week sales performances throughout their career. Willin' sold 122,000 album-equivalent units in large part due to their classic single 'Grindin'.' The internet has been loving this LP, largely due to the presence of Kendrick Lamar on 'Chains & Whips,' the reunion of Clipse and Pharrell, and seeing a veteran group still performing at a high level. Sales have rarely been their metric of success, but their recent venture into independence has many people thrilled about these projections. 'Clipse selling 90K first week units 16 years after their last album is an incredible feat,' one X user wrote. '90k first week sales for Clipse? Huge W. Their biggest first week since Lord Willin' in 2002. The press takeover worked — media STILL matters in 2025, don't let anyone tell you different,' another user wrote. 'Clipse projected to sell 90k in the first week while dropping this album independently + it's been over 16 years since they've dropped one as a group is a win,' another user wrote. Their rollout included a live interview with Apple Music's Rap Life Review, an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, a COLORS performance, an NPR Tiny Desk set, and much more. Watch the duo perform 'Chains & Whips,' 'The Birds Don't Sing,' 'Grindin',' and more on NPR below. More from Clipse Release "Culturally Inappropriate" Video For "Chains & Whips" Feat.

Clipse Announce Let God Sort Em Out , First New Album Since 2009
Clipse's No Malice and Pusha T, photo by Cian Moore After years of teasing, Pusha T and No Malice have made it official: There will be a new Clipse album. Let God Sort Em Out, the Thornton brothers' long-awaited follow-up to December 2009's Til the Casket Drops, is out July 11 via Roc Nation Distribution. Longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams produced the new album, and Kaws did the artwork. The new album's lead single, 'Ace Trumpets,' is out on Friday, May 30. During their 2000s heyday, Clipse released three studio albums—Lord Willin' (2002), Hell Hath No Fury (2006), and Til the Casket Drops—and three volumes of their iconic We Got It 4 Cheap mixtape series. After Clipse went on hiatus, Pusha T released numerous standout projects, beginning with 2011's Fear of God mixtape and extending to the 2022 studio album It's Almost Dry. No Malice, meanwhile, shared just two albums, Hear Ye Him (2013) and Let the Dead Bury the Dead (2017). Clipse reunited, in 2019, on Kanye West's Jesus Is King song 'Use This Gospel.' The Thorntons have since performed together regularly, playing sets at Primavera Sound Barcelona, Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, and elsewhere. Originally Appeared on Pitchfork

Popular 2000s hip-hop duo to release first new album in 15 years
Pusha T and No Malice have made it official that there will be a new Clipse album — the first in 15 years. The famous hip-hop duo revealed in an Instagram post Thursday that their fourth studio album will be called 'Let God Sort Em Out.' The long-awaited project will serve as a follow-up to Clipse's 2009 effort, 'Til the Casket Drops.' 'Let God Sort Em Out,' which is being produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams, will be released July 11, Pitchfork reported. The album is available for pre-order on Clipse's website while its first single, 'Ace Trumpets,' drops Friday. 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 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.
