About

Clipse recently made a triumphant return to the music scene with a highly-anticipated Tiny Desk concert after a 16-year hiatus. The concert featured the iconic duo performing hits like "Virginia," "Keys Open Doors," and "Momma I'm So Sorry" from their celebrated album, Hell Hath No Fury. The concert showcased the dynamic between Pusha T and Malice, highlighting their contrasting styles and stage presence.

Clipse, consisting of brothers Gene "Malice" and Terrence "Pusha T" Thornton, rose to fame in the 2000s with a distinctive musical style rooted in hard-hitting drums and synths. Discovered by producer Pharrell Williams, they gained critical acclaim with albums like Lord Willin' and Hell Hath No Fury. The duo's music often revolves around themes of drug trade, club culture, and braggadocio.

Despite facing setbacks and label disputes over the years, Clipse continued to make music individually, with Pusha T even joining Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label and achieving success as a solo artist. No Malice, formerly known as Malice, transitioned to a religious path, releasing music with positive messages. The brothers reunited for collaborations on various projects, leading up to the announcement of their fourth studio album, "Let God Sort Em Out," produced entirely by Pharrell Williams.

Clipse's signature "coke rap" style, characterized by vivid depictions of drug dealing and other gritty themes, has become synonymous with their music, setting them apart in the hip hop landscape. The duo's recent resurgence with new music and energetic performances continues to captivate audiences and solidify their status as influential figures in the rap scene.
