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.

Bears coaching has issues with Caleb Williams demeanor
The post Bears coaching has issues with Caleb Williams demeanor appeared first on ClutchPoints. Just a few days after Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams refuted rumors he didn't want to play for them, coaches are saying something different. Advertisement According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the new coaching staff are questioning Williams' commitment. Breer said as much during an appearance on the Bill Simmons Podcast on Friday. 'I kind of like asked around what they've been working on with Caleb and the stuff that they've been working on was really how you carry yourself as a franchise quarterback, and the command that you have to have to be a franchise quarterback,' he said. As a result, Breer said that coaches sought to get Williams back on track. 'And basically the point they were trying to make to him was 'Last year was a tough year, we understand. Your offensive coordinator gets fired, then your head coach gets fired. your offensive line wasn't very good, we get it.' It's like but if you're lying on the ground you know for an extended period of time you're not picking yourself up off the ground that's going to resonate with the rest of the team. That's the sort of thing that's going on, so it's like you need to be popping up off the ground after hits.' Advertisement As of late, Williams has been under scrutiny. A new book claimed Williams and his father tried to get him drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. Bears coach Ben Johnson is looking to get the most out of Williams and make him into the franchise quarterback. Caleb Williams needs to turn a corner. Williams is coming off a less-than-impressive rookie season with the Bears. He had to deal with a poor offensive line and being stacked routinely. Nevertheless, Williams finished the year with some impressive stats. He had 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. His sub-par season may have deterred the confidence he showed at USC. The Bears are looking to boost that back up.

Pusha T Says Def Jam Tried to Censor Kendrick Lamar Verse On Upcoming Clipse Album Due To Drake Beef
After much anticipation, Pusha T and No Malice — collectively known as Clipse — finally announced that Let God Sort 'Em Out, their first album in 15 years, will arrive on July 11th. But when the press release was sent out last week, there was curiously no mention of Def Jam, who the duo had signed with last year for the project. Instead, distribution and marketing were attributed to JAY-Z's Roc Nation — and now Pusha T is opening up about why. In a new interview with GQ, the rapper claimed their relationship with Def Jam crumbled over Kendrick Lamar's verse on the song 'Chains & Whips.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Sean "Diddy" Combs' Ex-Aide Says She Was "Brainwashed" When She Sent Loving Texts Years After Rape Governors Ball Music Festival 2025: Where to Buy Last-Minute Tickets Online Are Music and Other Celebrity Films Killing the Documentary? Universal Music Group, the parent company of Def Jam, is also home to Drake (OVO Sound/Republic Records) and Lamar (pgLang/Interscope Records). Given last's summer highly publicized beef between Drake and Lamar — which resulted in Drake's filing a lawsuit against UMG — Pusha T said the label was hesitant on the idea of two of Drake's biggest enemies putting out a song together. 'They wanted me to ask Kendrick to censor his verse, which of course I was never doing,' he said. 'And then they wanted me to take the record off. And so, after a month of not doing it, Steve Gawley, the lawyer over there was like, 'We'll just drop the Clipse.' But that can't work because I'm still there [solo]. But [if] you let us all go… ' For those unaware, Pusha T outed Drake for having a 'secret' son in 2018 during their own contentious battle on the incendiary track 'The Story of Adidon,' while Lamar buried Drake with the proverbial nail in the coffin, 'Not Like Us,' last May. Def Jam ultimately decided to release Clipse and drop Pusha as a solo artist, Pusha said, allowing Clipse to search for another label home. A rep for Def Jam and UMG didn't immediately reply to request for comment. The move forced Clipse to push back the album's release date, which was originally supposed to be sometime in 2024. Still, Pusha T conceded the entire process was worth it: 'It felt good to even see how other labels were buying for the project.' In January, Drake filed an 81-page federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging UMG 'approved, published and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him.' The situation was only exacerbated by Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show performance of the song the following month, which drew in a record number of viewers. At one point during the performance, Lamar looked directly at the camera when he got to the lyrics, 'Say Drake, I hear you like 'em young…' a moment that will forever live in pop culture history. To add insult to injury, Lamar also swept the 2025 Grammy Awards' rap categories, with 'Not Like Us' taking home the trophies for best rap performance, best rap song, best music video, record and song of the year. UMG strongly denies all of Drake's allegations, calling the lawsuit 'frivolous,' 'reckless' and 'misguided.' The label argues that the lyrics in question are 'non-actionable opinion and rhetorical hyperbole' typical of rap battles—not statements of fact— and that taking them as literal defamation threatens free speech and artistic expression. UMG has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, asserting that Drake's claims are an attempt to simply salvage his image after sorely losing the public feud with Lamar. Drake's lawsuit remains active as of now Discovery is underway, and both sides are preparing to present evidence. UMG continues to seek dismissal, while Drake's legal team is focused on proving that UMG's actions went beyond standard music promotion and crossed into deliberate character assassination with real-world consequences.

Tomatoes sold in Georgia could be deadly, FDA says
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is upgrading a recall on tomatoes issued earlier this month. Tomatoes sold under the Williams Farms Repak and the H&C Farms labels were recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. The FDA has now upgraded that recall to a Class I, the federal agency's highest classification. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] The tomatoes were distributed between April 23 and April 28 and then packaged and sold to wholesalers and distributors in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the FDA said. 'The old adage of when in doubt, throw it out, certainly would apply in this situation. Don't risk your health for a few dollars of tomatoes,' Craig Nielsen with the Georgia Department of Agriculture told Channel 2's Michael Doudna.

In some rare cases, the organism can get into the bloodstream and cause arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis. 'Food poisoning does not alter the color, look, or taste of food so it's hard to identify until it is too late,' Dr. Danny Branstetter with WellStar Health System said. The tomatoes came in various packing configurations, including: 5x6, 25lb (lot code R4467) 6x6, 25lb (lot code R4467, R4470) Combo, 25lb (lot code R4467) 4x4, 2-layer (lot code R4467) 4x5, 2-layer (lot code R4467) 60-count, 2-layer (lot code R4467) 60-count, 18lb loose (lot code R4467, R4470) XL 18lb loose (lot code R4467) 3ct trays (lot code R4467) [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
