About The Clipse

Hailing from Virginia Beach, Virginia, brothers Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton and Gene “Malice” Thornton, collectively known as The Clipse, carved out a singular niche in the hip-hop landscape with their sharp lyricism, vivid storytelling, and a sound that blended Southern swagger with street-level grit. Emerging in the late 1990s, they quickly distinguished themselves through their distinctive flow and their ability to paint unflinching portraits of life on the streets of their hometown. Their breakthrough came with the release of their sophomore album, Lord Willin’, in 2002, which spawned the infectious hit single “Grindin’.” This track, with its iconic Neptunes production and the duo’s signature deadpan delivery, became an instant anthem, solidifying their status as formidable forces in the genre.

Following Lord Willin’, The Clipse continued to build a loyal fanbase with subsequent releases like Hell Hath No Fury (2006) and Til the Casket Drops (2009). Hell Hath No Fury, in particular, is widely regarded by critics as a masterpiece, lauded for its cohesive production, dense lyrical content, and a raw, uncompromising artistic vision. Hits like “Mr. Me Too” and “Wamp Wamp (What It Do)” showcased their continued evolution and unwavering commitment to their authentic sound. Beyond their own discography, Pusha T and Malice have also made significant contributions to the broader hip-hop culture through their individual work and their affiliation with iconic producers like The Neptunes. Their influence can be heard in the approach of numerous contemporary artists, a testament to their enduring legacy and the lasting impact of their distinctive artistry. This Manchester date promises to be a celebration of that remarkable career.
