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.
