The Clipse is an American hip-hop duo formed in 1992, consisting of brothers Gene Thornton (known as Pusha T) and No Malice. They gained prominence in the early 2000s with their unique style, characterized by clever wordplay and vivid storytelling, often focusing on themes of street life and drug dealing. Their debut album, Lord Willin', released in 2002, received critical acclaim and commercial success. The duo is known for their collaborations with producer Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes production team, which helped shape their sound. After a hiatus, they reunited in 2017, releasing new music and continuing to influence the hip-hop genre.
