Watch Clipse Showcase Emotional Track ‘The Birds Don't Sing' on Fallon
Clipse stopped by The Tonight Show to perform their recent song 'The Birds Don't Sing.' The evocative track is the opening number on the rap group's latest LP, Let God Sort Em Out, which dropped July 11. The performance featured Pusha T stepping forward to intone the opening verses before a female singer took over John Legend's part from the recorded version. No Malice joined for the later verses as a series of childhood images played on the screen behind them.

Pusha T's verses are directed to his mother, while No Malice's verses are directed to his father. 'It's a beautiful song, but it's just out of so much pain and suffering,' No Malice explained of the new track. Let God Sort Em Out is the first Clipse album in 15 years, following 2009's Til the Casket Drops. 'I feel like I don't think we're ever in a rush to put out the music, because when it's ready and when the time is right, we know it's right,' Pusha T told Rolling Stone earlier this year. 'We didn't foresee these twists and turns, but I think it always works out for the best. One thing that we always know, is that the music is incredible. So we don't stress the back office stuff. We've always just gotten through off of the greatness of the music.' The album was produced by longtime collaborator Pharrell Williams and includes collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator, and Nas. Clipse will embark on a North American tour in support of Let God Sort Em Out next month. The trek kicks off Aug. 3 in Boston and wraps Sept. 10 in Detroit.

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.
