The Clipse finally released a full-blown single from their highly anticipated album Let God Sort Em Out after releasing portions of songs over the last couple years and there are no shortage of slick lines and clever wordplay.
Pusha T and his brother No Malice each have one verse, with the former handling hook duties as they try to outdo each other with rhymes about drug dealing and being millionaire rap stars, which is maybe some of my favorite type of rap music if I’m being honest. And no one does crime tales quite like the Brother Thornton. We also get Push addressing his hot-and-cold relationship with Ye (formerly Kanye West) and his former collaborator’s erratic behavior.
Pharrell and his neighborhood friends from Virginia Beach started giving fans glimpses of the music they’ve been working on since 2023 when “Chains & Whips” was played during Paris Fashion Week as the Clipse walked down the runway dipped in Louis Vuitton designed by Skateboard P. Then in 2024, a song was played about their late parents featuring John Legend on the chorus during another Louis Vuitton runway show. And more recently, Push used an unreleased song entitled “So Far Ahead” with Pharrell on the hook for a social media video of him getting ready for the 2025 Met Gala.
Their first album since 2009’s Til the Casket Drops, is due out later this summer and will be entirely produced by Pharrell. Check out our list of 12 of the best lines from “Ace Trumpets.”
