Hip-hop duo Clipse, consisting of Pusha T and Malice, opened up about their five Grammy nominations for the album 'Let God Sort ‘Em Out' in a candid interview with Billboard. The nomination comes after a 15-year hiatus, marking a triumphant return produced by Pharrell Williams. The group expressed excitement just 24 hours before the 2026 Grammy ceremony.
In a video interview published by Billboard on February 1, 2026, Clipse reflected on the significance of their five Grammy nominations for 'Let God Sort ‘Em Out,' their first album in 15 years. The project, executive produced by Pharrell Williams, earned nods in Album of the Year, Best Rap Album, Best Rap Performance for “Chains And Whips” featuring Kendrick Lamar, Best Rap Song for “The Birds Don’t Sing” featuring John Legend, and Best Music Video for “So Be It.”
Billboard senior director of hip-hop and R&B Carl Lamarre hosted the conversation, praising the duo's legacy of four classic albums and calling the new release a 'master work.' He noted the nominations' timing, just one day before the 68th Annual Grammy Awards at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026. Lamarre confidently predicted, 'Nominated for five Grammys, we’re taking something home tomorrow.'
Pusha T and Malice shared their emotions during the discussion. When asked how they felt 24 hours from the ceremony, Pusha T said, 'Lucky,' while Malice responded, 'I feel good. I feel blessed. You know, glad to be here.' Reflecting on the number five after 20 years in the industry, Pusha T emphasized the reunion's special nature: 'It’s extremely special. You know, I feel like this happening with Clipse, you know, me being with my brother is the only way it should be, honestly. And even, just doing this with Pharrell and us collectively — you know, just being together — it feels like, man, high school.'
The album's inspiration stemmed from the duo's comeback drive, blending their signature style with fresh collaborations. Clipse's return highlights hip-hop's enduring appeal at the Grammys, where Kendrick Lamar leads with nine nominations overall. The full interview video is available on Billboard's site, capturing the duo's optimism ahead of potential wins.
