Pusha T and Malice's duo, Clipse, is set to return with a new album, Let God Sort Em Out. It will be produced by Pharrell Williams and see the duo return together for the first time since 2009.
Brothers Gene Elliott Thornton Jr. (Malice) and Terrence LeVarr Thornton (Pusha T) formed Clipse in 1999, debuting with Exclusive Audio Footage, produced by Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes. They went on to release three more albums: Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury, and Til the Casket Drops.
After a long break, Clipse is back with a new album, Let God Sort Em Out. The first single, “Ace Trumpets,” drops on May 30, and the full album releases on July 11.

More about Clipse and their return to action
Pusha T and Malice collaborated on four albums between 1999 and 2009 but then parted ways to focus on solo endeavors.
Pusha T has released four studio albums since then - My Name Is My Name (2013), King Push - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude (2015), Daytona (2018), and It's Almost Dry (2022). Meanwhile, Malice released two studio albums - Hear Ye Him (2013) and Let The Dead Bury The Dead (2017).
In an interview with The Rolling Stone, published on September 4, 2024, the brothers spoke about looking to collaborate again for a long time. They finally found themselves exchanging verses and lyrics in 2023, which led to the creation of their new album.
Malice stated in that interview,
“There’s so many nuances in this album and in the verses."
Apart from this new album, the Thornton brothers did work together in 2019 when they were writers on Kanye West's Jesus Is King album. However, they didn't enjoy it as they felt there were too many voices in the mix. Pusha T explained,
“It’s a lot of different influences out there. You’re trying to write from a perspective of where you think he’s at. You keep it as cool as you think is possible, and think you’re getting the point across proper.” Then, he says, Kanye would “come through, nix it.”
Meanwhile, Clipse has been working with Pharrell Williams and other sound engineers for over a year on this new album.

Pusha T asserts that it's another new beginning for Clipse
While they are returning for the first time since 2009, Let God Sort Em Out isn't a one-off album for Clipse. Both brothers have asserted that this is just another beginning, and they will work on more projects together.
In the aforementioned interview with The Rolling Stone, Pusha T said that Pharrell Williams keeps pushing them as well. He said,
“Pharrell says, ‘We gonna keep going!’ Pharrell calls with that energy every morning, bro. ‘I was listening to the album in the truck last night. I’m going to try some new shit tomorrow.’ I’m like, ‘Come on, bro. Get the mix done with this one.’”
The brothers have collaborated recently, with Malice helping Pusha T out with some verses on his latest songs and albums. However, the duo will now be back as Clipse once again.
