After years of fan outcry, the Thornton brothers have reunited as Clipse.​​ Terrence Thornton, aka Pusha T, and Gene Thornton, better known as Malice (he’s scrapped the “No” to return to his original moniker) are back together with a new album, Let God Sort Em Out, produced entirely by Pharrell Williams. It’s been 16 years since they released their last project, 2009’s Til the Casket Drops.

The rollout hasn’t been easy. Let God Sort Em Out, which was recorded in the Louis Vuitton headquarters in Paris, was originally supposed to drop last year, after the duo signed a deal with Def Jam. But according to the brothers, the label got cold feet over the album’s second track, “Chains & Whips,” which features a verse from Kendrick Lamar. Given Kendrick and Pusha’s charged history with Drake, the label reportedly wanted the song pulled. The duo refused. They ended up paying seven figures to get out of the deal. That’s when Clipse manager Steven Victor set up a new deal in which the album will be distributed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation but released independently.









“We really didn't understand. We were like, ‘Man, this is really going to happen. They're really taking it this far,’” Pusha said. “[Victor] basically had that conversation directly with Hov himself, unbeknownst to us. And then came back and was like, ‘Yo, bro, I think we about to do this situation over at Roc Nation.’”

The duo is no stranger to ups and downs. (Real Clipse fans remember the trials and tribulations surrounding their 2006 album, Hell Hath No Fury.) But nothing shaped their story more than Malice’s departure 15 years ago, when he le…

It feels like the ultimate commodification of art. We're not making art to connect with eachother; We're making it to shift units.

This is the second time I've photographed this individual in my back yard. This time I got to watch it hunt!

They are, unfortunately, out of focus, but you can see two insects in its forelegs.
