At the storied Chateau Marmont, Malice and Pusha T reemerged before a crowd of artists, executives, and longtime admirers during the 2025 GQ Men of the Year gala. The evening carried a sense of occasion, marking not only their presence on a major stage but also the long-awaited return of the Thornton brothers as Clipse with their album Let God Sort Em Out.
Momentum has been building around the duo, fueling talk of potential Grammy recognition and renewed interest in their legacy. Their comeback arrives after years of divergent paths—Pusha T releasing a steady run of solo music and Malice stepping back from the industry to pursue a spiritual shift. Now reunited, they appear determined to shape a new chapter together.
During a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, Malice pushed back against the idea that their return would be brief. The question held weight, given the long gap since Til The Casket Drops and the uncertainty surrounding new work. But his response left no room for doubt. “Not a chance,” he said, his voice firm. “Listen, we just got here, man. There’s so much more to come.”
While a timeline for their next release remains unannounced, a Zoom call from their Virginia Beach studio with writer Simon Vozick-Levinson hinted that fresh material is already in motion. With the acclaim surrounding Let God Sort Em Out still rising, fans have reason to expect more activity soon.
Reclaiming Identity and Creative Direction
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Malice reflected on his evolution and his decision years ago to briefly perform as No Malice. “As my beliefs and heart evolved over time, I wanted to demonstrate that there was nothing harmful about me regarding bringing negativity or malice into anything,” he said. But reuniting with Pusha T prompted a return to the name that defined their earliest success. “We owe it to ourselves and our fans to maintain our original branding. Clipse will always be Clipse,” he added.
With a tour ahead, the brothers are preparing to bring their latest work to the stage. Three final dates are set for December 2025—two in Virginia Beach and one in Brooklyn—before they head into a busy festival season that includes Coachella and All Points East next year.
