Overview

• Lamar appeared unannounced at The Novo on Aug. 23, delivering his verse as Pusha T and Malice performed the track.
• After the verse, he praised the duo as legends, declined to perform solo material, and watched the rest of the show from the crowd.
• “Chains & Whips” is featured on Clipse’s new album Let God Sort Em Out, their first full-length release in roughly 16 years.
• Complex previously reported that Def Jam sought changes to Lamar’s verse, and manager Steven Victor said the group paid a large sum to exit the deal instead.
• Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out Tour continues across North America into September with festival stops to follow before European dates in November.
