  • Def Jam demanded the removal of Kendrick Lamar’s “Trump card” verse on “Chains & Whips,” driving Clipse to pay seven figures to exit their Universal Music Group contract.

  • Early reviews praise the album’s incisive lyricism, political references and the renewed chemistry between Pusha T and Malice under Neptunes-style production.
  • The Virginia duo is preparing a summer tour to support their reunion project and bring their bold new material to live audiences.
