After over a decade away as a duo, Clipse returns with Let God Sort Em Out, and it is nothing short of a masterpiece. Pusha T and Malice deliver a project that feels both urgent and timeless. This album is not just a reunion, it is a spiritual and lyrical elevation that only two seasoned veterans could create.
From the very first track, The Birds Don’t Sing, featuring John Legend and Voices of Fire, you are pulled into a world of pain, redemption, and reflection. The gospel-infused production, paired with haunting vocals and razor sharp verses, sets the tone for an album that explores the contrast between street survival and soul searching. Pusha T’s cold precision and Malice’s introspective delivery complement each other perfectly, showing that their chemistry is as potent as ever.
Track two, Chains and Whips, brings Kendrick Lamar into the fold and raises the bar even higher. The production is dark and layered, while each verse feels like a sermon from a different corner of the universe. Kendrick delivers a dense, poetic verse that sits perfectly between Pusha’s relentless delivery and Malice’s spiritual weight. It is a track that demands multiple listens and rewards you every time.
The final track, P.O.V., features Tyler, the Creator and takes a more philosophical tone. Tyler brings a thoughtful presence, and the trio explores legacy, perception, and inner conflict over a soulful yet eerie beat. This song ties the project together and gives each artist room to reflect on who they are, what they have seen, and what still haunts them.
What makes Let God Sort Em Out so powerful is its honesty. It does not chase trends. It does not try to sound young. It sounds experienced. This is grown man rap with real depth. Every line carries weight. Every feature is intentional. Every beat feels crafted with care. There is a clear spiritual thread running through the project, but it never feels preachy. It feels honest. Like two brothers letting you in on their journey from dealers to thinkers, from hustlers to philosophers.
The production is top tier. The features are meaningful. The lyricism is untouched. But beyond all of that, this album has soul. Real soul. You feel the pain, the growth, the losses, and the peace that comes from choosing truth over image.
Standout Tracks
The Birds Don’t Sing – cinematic and spiritual with an unforgettable hook
Chains and Whips – lyrical clinic featuring a flawless verse from Kendrick
P.O.V. – deep reflection with a strong assist from Tyler, the Creator
Final Thoughts
Let God Sort Em Out is a perfect example of what happens when artists mature without losing their edge. Clipse has delivered an album that speaks to the streets and the spirit. It is a rare project that challenges you to think while still making your head nod. Ten out of ten. This is legacy music.
