Artist Spotlight
Sibling duo Clipse — Pusha T and No Malice — bring their Virginia Beach bite to Coachella this year, closing out Sunday with a set that leans on classic Neptunes production, sharp street storytelling, and the darker, leaner sound that defined their best records. Expect tight wordplay, heavyweight beats, and a career-spanning run through mixtape-era gems and hard-earned classics.
Quick Facts
- From: Virginia Beach, VA
- Genre: Gangsta rap / Hip‑hop
- Notable early hit: “Grindin'” (Neptunes)
- Key albums: Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury, 2025’s Let God Sort Em Out
- Coachella set: Sunday
Clipse built their rep on razor-sharp street narratives and minimalist, punchy production from Pharrell and Chad Hugo. After mixtape runs and critically lauded albums in the 2000s, solo detours and a gradual reunion paved the way for the group’s fourth LP in 2025 — and the stage at Coachella is where those threads meet a new era.

If you liked last‑decade street rap with a cinematic production edge, Clipse’s Coachella set is a must-see — sharp bars, veteran stagecraft, and a catalogue that rewards both deep cuts and festival-ready anthems.
