For years, Clipse felt like one of hip hop’s great “what if” stories. After Til the Casket Drops in 2009, Malice stepped away from the industry, Pusha T carved out his solo lane, and fans were left wondering if they’d ever hear the Virginia Beach brothers together again. Fast forward to 2025, and that question has been answered in the loudest way possible: Clipse aren’t just back—they’re thriving.
Their reunion album Let God Sort Em Out has been one of the most celebrated rap projects of the year, reminding fans why Lord Willin’ and Hell Hath No Fury are hailed as classics. They’ve already shared stages again on their first tour in over a decade, locked in collaborations with Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator, and even popped up in JID’s “Community” video. At every turn, the duo have proven their legacy isn’t frozen in the past—it’s evolving in real time.
Now, they’ve got another massive co-sign: the NFL just tapped Clipse for its 2025 Songs of the Season playlist. Announced ahead of Week 1 on Aug. 28, the Roc Nation–curated lineup will pump their track “Ace Trumpets” into stadiums, broadcasts, and social media all season long. It’s more than just exposure—it’s a platform that connects their comeback to millions of fans beyond hip hop, dropping their sound right into the center of game-day culture.
“Music is central to the way fans experience the NFL,” said Angela Ellis, the league’s VP of original content & entertainment. “Together with Roc Nation, we’re celebrating artists who shape culture, giving players and fans a soundtrack that reflects the energy of the game.”
Few artists are shaping that energy better than Clipse right now. Their return feels both triumphant and timely—proof that sharp storytelling, timeless chemistry, and Pharrell’s sonic magic still hit as hard today as they did in the early 2000s. With the NFL blasting their new music on the biggest stage in sports, Clipse’s resurgence just went from celebrated comeback to full-blown cultural moment.
