No Malice Confirms the Clipse Album Isn't Happening

While Clipse fans had a glimmer of hope for the VA duo to reunite and drop a brand new album this year, it now looks like those plans are no longer in the making. A few weeks ago Pusha T surprised fans with the announcement of a brand new Clipse LP, even going on to share the album’s title, but today No Malice has spoken up on the matter to reveal that there’s no album currently in the works. Talking with the good people at The FADER, No Malice went on to share the following:

There is no Clipse album in the works. It’s not going down. I don’t know where the rumor stems from. And I don’t know how this keeps coming back up—this isn’t the first time. But I would never play with the fans like that and act like something’s about to happen and it’s not.

I’m very certain that it could happen. A Clipse album could be done. There would be nothing like it. At this point in time, my brother and I attack music from two different perspectives. We can pull off anything together and crush it, but right now I’m just somewhere else and he’s doing his thing.

I have heard Pusha express that he really wants to do a Clipse album. He’s ready one hundred percent!

No Malice went on to also explain that the reason he’s chosen not to work on upcoming Clipse album is because the lifestyle he used to rap about, is no longer the life he chooses to live.

I think the fans want to rekindle that whole entire lifestyle which I no longer live, but I will not be rapping like that. I was that, every bit of that lifestyle, and this is where I’m at now. I don’t condemn or have anything negative to say about anyone, this is just the move I chose to make. The turn of events in my life, this is my choice. Unless there’s a universal revival, the market will always be broader for Pusha’s perspective. But for me, that’s not what it’s about. When I rhyme, it’s because I feel like it.

Only time will tell if we’ll ever hear a brand new Clipse album, but for now it looks like we’ll all have to just settle with Pusha’s upcoming solo album, King Push.
