Clipse returned with Let God Sort Em Out on July 11, 2025, reuniting Pusha T and Malice with Pharrell Williams. The 13-track album opens with “The Birds Don’t Sing,” where the brothers remember their parents with John Legend joining them.
The hardest record comes first
Speaking to Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Pusha explained that the song grew from his final conversation with their mother and Malice’s final conversation with their father. He described making it as difficult but therapeutic, explaining its position at the beginning of the album.
Malice described the Paris sessions as having a family atmosphere. The guest list also includes Kendrick Lamar on “Chains & Whips” and Nas on the title track. Pusha told Apple Music that Nas had originally been intended for his 2022 solo album, It’s Almost Dry, before this collaboration came together.
