Clipse have revealed that their new album Let God Sort Em Out will feature a verse from Nas.
In a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone, the brother and sister played the reporter some of the album’s content, which includes a collaboration with the Queensbridge rap legend.
Nas’s guest verse was described as “poignant” and one Pusha T had been “looking for for several years”.
The article also compared Pharrell’s work to Clipse’s classic early work, which was “full of toxic synths and shocking 808s,” and revealed that the album always included a woman’s label, “which culturally is Inappropriate”.
“They told me it was originally a watermark for the advance payment, but they liked it so much they kept it,” the reporter said.
In another interview on the Ghetto Runways podcast last month, Pusha revealed that Let God Fix Them is complete, except for “just one story” that he and Malice are waiting for.
Some fans speculated he was referring to a verse by JAY-Z or Kendrick Lamar, who shares a common enemy with Drake’s Pusha.
John Legend is another confirmed guest on Let God Sort Em Out, lending his soaring vocals to “Birds Don’t Sing,” which Clipse performed in Paris earlier this summer Pharrell debuted at the Louis Vuitton fashion show.
In the song, Pusha T and Malice mourn the deaths of their parents, who passed away within a few months of each other in late 2021 and early 2022.
The Virginia natives confirmed in a June interview with Vulture that they were working on their first album in 15 years, which Pusha T described as “the highest level of maturity for a rap duo.”
“I think that’s the difference between flavor and filler. This music is carefully curated. It’s a work of good taste. You can only get to this point when you have mastered the basics of science. I I think it’s definitely missing. And then there’s the competition aspect,” he said.
Mallis added: “It’s smart basketball. It’s the fundamentals. More than that, it’s authenticity. If you’re authentic about your craft, authentic experiences, authentic storytelling, that’s what rap should be about. look. It allows fans to witness the growth together instead of trying to fit in or fabricate it.
“It seems like in other music genres, they have the luxury of growing up. For some reason, we act like we’re not supposed to evolve. That’s what Clipse has really evolved like. To be able to prove that and still rap at a high level is really cool Very good.
Let God Sort It doesn’t yet have a release date, but it’s expected to launch later this year.
