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.

Pusha T Addresses Drake's UMG Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us'
Pusha T is, once again, making his stance clear when it comes to his longtime rival, Drake—this time in light of the rapper's recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group. The legal action, sparked by Kendrick Lamar's scathing 'Not Like Us' diss track, has prompted reactions across the Hip-Hop community, but Pusha isn't holding back. In a new profile with GQ, the Virginia Beach native shared his blunt reaction to Drake's decision to take legal action, questioning what it means for his place in rap culture. 'I don't rate him no more,' Pusha said of Drake. 'The suing thing is bigger than some rap sh*t. I just don't rate you. Damn, it's like it just kind of cheapens the art of it once we gotta have real questions about suing and litigation. Like, what? For this?' Though critical of the lawsuit, Pusha did acknowledge that Drake may have a legitimate case, subtly referencing how his own 2018 diss, 'The Story of Adidon,' was allegedly suppressed by UMG. Still, as for reigniting their lyrical feud, Pusha appears unmoved. 'I think after everything that had been done, I don't think there was ever anything subliminal to be said ever again in life. Not only just musically, like bro, I actually was in Canada. I actually had a show and made it home,' he said, before adding: 'So, I can't pay attention to none of that. I did the dance for real, not to come back and tip-toe around anything.' Elsewhere in the article, Pusha touched on his fallout with Ye West, as well as he and his brother No Malice's forthcoming Clipse album, set to drop this summer. Speaking of Drake, the rapper recently made music history, becoming the artist with the most Diamond-certified singles ever, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). With the recent elevation of 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and 'Best I Ever Had' to Diamond status—each representing 10 million units sold or streamed—Drake now holds an unprecedented 10 Diamond singles. The hitmaker surpassed both Post Malone and Garth Brooks, who previously shared the top spot with nine a piece.

Watch the Otium-directed music video for lead single 'Wheel of Change' below. 'Both lyrically and in its production, this song is about the impossibility of return—you can't go back to the way things were, no matter how much you might want to hold on to a time, or a feeling, or a person,' Duffy said of 'Wheel of Change' in a press statement. 'In longing, there can be this sharper, wild edge. Like, no I need this, give it to me, don't take it away.' In 2023, Duffy shared the Hand Habits EP Sugar the Bruise and teamed up with Uhlmann as Duffy x Uhlmann to put out the instrumental Doubles. The singer and guitarist recently collaborated with the National's Matt Berninger on a song from his new solo LP, Get Sunk. Duffy will head out on tour later this year.
