Standout track appears on Pusha T and Malice’s long-awaited new LP Let God Sort Em Out
Clipse surprised fans in Los Angeles at the Novo on Saturday when they brought out Kendrick Lamar. The trio performed “Chains & Whips” from Clipse’s long-awaited album, Let God Sort Em Out, which arrived last month.
As fan-filmed clips reveal, Pusha T and Malice were in the midst of performing the song, and then the stage went dark briefly before a spotlight unveiled Lamar onstage. Then, Lamar delivered his scene-stealing verse. As he rapped the opening lines, “I’m not the candidate to vibe with/I don’t fuck with the kumbaya shit/All that talent must be godsent/I send yo’ ass back to the cosmics,” the hometown crowd went wild and screamed along to his rhymes.
Afterward, Lamar addressed the audience. “This is our home city, it’s such a privilege to be in front of motherfucking legends, man,” Lamar said, before shouting out and hugging Malice and Pusha T onstage. He then gestured to the audience and said, “I’m going to be out there watching with you all, these are my motherfucking people.”

Clipse are in the midst of their North American tour. Like their album, it’s their first since 2009. “I’m excited about getting back out here and seeing those people that supported us the whole time, and the people that have expressed their anxiousness to hear the Clipse,” Malice told Rolling Stone. He added: “This one is for the fans, those that waited around, those that were looking to see if we would ever come back and do music together.”
Their tour continues through West Coast cities through the end of August, before it heads south and continues on with dates in the Midwest in September.
