Clipse is back on their grind.
The brothers Thornton, better known as Pusha T and Malice, have announced their first U.S. tour in over 15 years as a duo. The veteran hip-hop pair will kick off their Let God Sort Em Out Tour on Sunday, Aug. 3, in Boston at Roadrunner. Their Texas dates include Houston on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at White Oak Music Hall before heading to Dallas on Thursday, Sept. 4, at The Bomb Factory.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Friday, June 13, at this website. Atlanta hip-hop duo Earthgang will support them. It's a rare chance to see two individual stars function within a group dynamic. See the full dates below. Clipse's fourth album has generated a lot of anticipation among hip-hop fans. Their last album, Til the Casket Drops, dropped in 2009. While highly revered as a group, both had different solo careers during their hiatus. Pusha T went on to sign with Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music, making a memorable appearance on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on "Runaway." Pusha's role within G.O.O.D. Music went from artist to label president, creating classics like 2018's Daytona and 2022's It's Almost Dry, which earned him the status of the best cocaine rapper ever.
Malice, who went by No Malice after Clipse took a break, focused on Christianity. He dedicated his life to God, pouring his creative energy into his debut 2013's Hear Ye Him, his book Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked and the documentary The End of Malice, which recounted his spiritual story and departure from the limelight.
In 2019, Clipse reunited on "Use This Gospel" off West's Jesus Is King. Pusha would sporadically feature his brother on songs, but their lead single "Ace Trumpets," officially marks their return. In speaking with Rolling Stone's Andre Gee, Pusha explained why "Ace Trumpets" was the perfect song to roll out Let God Sort Em Out.
"I think 'Ace Trumpets' is a give back to the pure Clipse fan. For the fan who is looking for that level of rap. I think 'Ace Trumpets' speaks directly to our base. No compromise, no nothing. And I feel like it’s the set off," he said.
Let God Sort Em Out arrives on July 11 in partnership with Roc Nation Distribution. It was produced entirely by Pharrell Williams, with artwork and design by KAWS.
