Hip-hop fans have been anticipating the first new Clipse album in 15 years, Let God Sort 'Em Out. Singles like "Ace Trumpets" and "So Be It" were huge crowdpleasers, and with a Kendrick Lamar feature on the way, fans have every right to be excited. Furthermore, Pharrell is on the production, and from what we've heard, he's back in his prime.
Unfortunately, there are some nefarious people online who are willing to spoil the party. As reported by Kurrco on Tuesday night, the new Clipse project was leaked online. Don't expect to find a link or an embed to the album here. We don't do that. It ruins the fun, and is extremely disrespectful to the artist.
Having said that, the leak probably isn't worthy of your time. We say that because there are missing songs, and the ones that are present are not CDQ quality. Therefore, you won't actually be listening to a final version of the project.
Regardless, one has to wonder how this project got leaked, and why someone would do such a thing.
Clipse fans are not going to have to wait very long for this album. It is set to be released on Friday, July 11th. Overall, this is promising to be one of the biggest and best projects of the entire year.
Pusha T and Malice have numerous classics to their name, and this could very well be a modern classic. Although these are lofty expectations, the hype for the project has been simmering for well over a year. With the star-studded features on this album, we are certainly in for high quality raps and incredible production.
Whether or not the album does live up to the hype, is totally up to the audience. Unfortunately, Pusha T's beef with Drake might muddy the waters, especially on social media. Some fans will hate no matter what. But the real fans will tell the truth.
Not for the first time, Moby is speaking out against Donald Trump’s administration with clear frustration.
“The U.S. is collapsing under a deeply corrupt and shockingly ineffective administration,” the longtime electronic musician shared on social media. “These are unbelievably dark times.”
Moby went deeper into his thoughts through a video message, where he explained that people outside the United States keep asking Americans what is actually happening in the country.
“So many of my friends outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is happening over there?’ And honestly, we don’t even know,” he said. “The country is being controlled by one of the most corrupt, dangerous and incompetent administrations imaginable. Nobody fully understands what’s happening right now. These are very dark times in America.”
Moby joins a growing list of artists publicly criticizing Trump and MAGA politics, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem and Billie Eilish.
Earlier this year, Moby uploaded another statement to social media where he addressed how people should respond following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. “The real question isn’t whether people should feel horrified or outraged by what’s happening in the United States,” Moby explained in the Jan. 26 clip. “The question is what are we actually going to do about it?”
The musician and activist also encouraged people to protest, saying demonstrations are a constitutional right and something he believes Trump’s administration is attempting to weaken.
In the end, he urged people to vote regularly, “not only during the upcoming midterms, even though those matter, but also in every special election throughout the year.” He also encouraged supporters to “stop giving money to the scumbag corporations backing Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”
His newest remarks arrive as the U.S. Justice Department unveils a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down following military action launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February without approval from Congress, leading to rising gas prices across the globe.
Throughout his independent music career, Moby has earned 10 entries on the Billboard 200 along with two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and an enormous catalog of sync placements. Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, he is viewed as one of the defining artists of his era. He scored two No. 1 albums there with Play from 1999 and 18 from 2002, alongside 18 top 40 singles and two nominations for Best International Male at the BRIT Awards.
