Clipse, Parallax, and Muja Messiah at First Avenue
The members of Clipse took their rightful place as hip-hop’s foremost chroniclers of the drug trade when 2006 finally saw the release, after years of legal entanglements, of Hell Hath No Fury, an instant classic for Pusha T’s and Malice’s bleak, paranoid rhymes and the Neptunes’ adventurous production. Problems with their new label led to them releasing material quasi-underground via the Re-Up Gang, the group they formed with the Philadelphia MCs Ab-Liva and Sandman, with whom they put out several editions of the excellent We Got It 4 Cheap mix-tape series. Now signed to Columbia, Clipse will release its third disc, Till The Casket Drops, later this year. The tracks released so far have been tasty, but fans who worry about history repeating itself would do well to get their fix while they can.
