Clipse Is Back: "Let God Sort Em Out" is an Instant Classic, "Chains & Whips" Video Delivers

After a 16-year hiatus, the iconic hip-hop duo Clipse, composed of Pusha T and Malice, has made a triumphant return with their highly anticipated album, "Let God Sort Em Out," released on July 11, 2025. The album, produced entirely by long-time collaborator Pharrell Williams, features an impressive lineup of artists including Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Tyler, The Creator, Nas, and Kendrick Lamar. Their collaboration with Kendrick, "Chains & Whips," quickly became a focal point, with its music video, directed by Gabriel Moses, dropping just days after the album's release. Despite Kendrick Lamar's absence from the visually striking and darkly moody video, which features raw imagery of American flags, distorted figures, and an intense police chase, it has garnered praise for its cinematic artistry. The "Chains & Whips" collaboration itself caused a stir, reportedly leading to Clipse's and Pusha T's departure from Def Jam Recordings after the label attempted to censor Kendrick's verse. Now, under Roc Nation Distribution, Clipse is not only celebrating their critically acclaimed return album, which is being hailed as a potential Album of the Year contender, but also embarking on their first U.S. tour in over 15 years, further solidifying their enduring impact on hip-hop. Clipse forever!
