The iconic Virginia Beach rap duo Clipse, consisting of brothers Pusha T and No Malice, has made a triumphant return with their fourth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, released today, July 11, 2025. This marks their first project in over 15 years since 2009’s Til the Casket Drops. Fully produced by Pharrell Williams and featuring heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Tyler, The Creator, and John Legend, the album is already being hailed as a hip-hop masterpiece. Here, we dive into the top three standout tracks from Let God Sort Em Out that are setting the internet ablaze.

1. “Chains & Whips” (feat. Kendrick Lamar)

The highly anticipated collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, “Chains & Whips,” dropped a day early on Apple Music, sparking massive buzz. This track sees Pusha T, No Malice, and Kendrick delivering razor-sharp verses over Pharrell’s lush production, exploring themes of power, trauma, and cultural legacy. Kendrick’s verse, continuing his lyrical feud with Drake, has fans and critics alike calling it one of the year’s most explosive moments. The song’s raw energy and unapologetic lyricism make it a must-listen.

2. “Ace Trumpets”

“Ace Trumpets” sets the tone for Clipse’s comeback, showcasing their signature chemistry and lyrical precision. Released as one of the lead singles, this track pairs Pharrell’s vibrant production with the duo’s storytelling prowess, reflecting their Virginia roots. Fans have praised its infectious beat and the brothers’ ability to blend street narratives with introspective wisdom, making it a perfect reintroduction to Clipse’s evolved sound.

3. “The Birds Don’t Sing” (feat. John Legend)

Opening the album, “The Birds Don’t Sing” is a deeply personal track featuring John Legend and the choir Voices of Fire. Pusha T and No Malice mourn the loss of their parents through raw, therapeutic verses, offering a vulnerable side rarely seen in their coke-rap legacy. The soulful production and emotional depth have critics calling it one of the album’s strongest moments, resonating with both longtime fans and new listeners.
