Pusha-T made it no secret that, after a nearly flawless 2013, he planned on hitting the studio on January 2nd for a marathon recording session with longtime producer collaborators The Neptunes. He did, however, fail to mention that his older sibling and Clipse partner No Malice would be joining them. That’s right, folks: the Thornton brothers are back by popular demand.
Fans were uncertain as to whether these two would ever reunite, despite the urgings of both The Neptunes and Kanye West. In spite them releasing three critically-praised, uniquely raw albums between 2002 and 2009, The Clipse has been MIA ever since Malice turned to religion and changed his name to No Malice. Pusha, meanwhile, found another “god”: one by the name of Yeezus, who signed him to his G.O.O.D. Music label back in 2010 and has been instrumental in helping him go from being the younger half of one of rap’s greatest duos ever to becoming King Push, the guy who takes shots at Lil’ Wayne and prances across the stage at the VMAs in a salmon-colored suit.
Thankfully, Karen Civil has confirmed No Malice‘s presence in the studio so it appears that Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and the Thornton brothers are back at their magical ways. We would have been satisfied if Push had simply put together another solo project on par with My Name Is My Name, but the boys are going above and beyond for their fans. And if Kanye were to get involved like he’s said? Well, that would be kinda like a big deal.
