“I’m so excited about this new Clipse album,” he said. “That’s what I’m on right now. It’s absolutely finished. Just waiting on a feature. Just waiting on a feature, bro. Just one feature. ”

Back in June, Pusha T and No Malice corroborated the rumors about a new Clipse project and revealed that it’s produced entirely by longtime collaborator Pharrell.
Talking to Vulture, the siblings went into detail about what will be their first album since 2009’s Til the Casket Drops.

“I think the album shows the supreme maturation of a rap duo,” Push began. “I think this is where you get the difference between taste and filler. This music is curated. This is a high taste-level piece of work. You can only have that level of taste when you have the fundamentals down to a science. I think it’s been definitely missing. Then there’s the competitive aspect.”
His brother added: “This is smart basketball. It’s fundamentals. And not only that, it’s authenticity. It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience, real about your storytelling. It’s bringing the fans along to see the growth, not trying to fit in or fabricate.
“It just seems like in other genres of music, they have the luxury of growing. For some reason, we act like we’re not supposed to evolve. This is what the true evolution of the Clipse looks like. It’s just good to be able to show that and still have high-level raps.”
Without revealing any of the features, the former GOOD Music president said: “Pharrell producing everything is also an ode to the type of music and the type of albums we want to make. We still want to make full bodies of work. These are movies, man. These aren’t just songs. This isn’t just a collection of joints we went in and banged out.

“This is arguing. This is a problem. These are people passionate about their opinions and making sure that everybody’s on their A-game. Listen, I can be mad at the engineer, you know what I’m saying? Even he has to be on point. I think that’s the level of meticulousness that a Clipse fan looks for.”
The pair also shared that they did not work with the other half of the Neptunes production team, Chad Hugo, who has been embroiled in a legal battle with his peer from Virginia over trademark ownership.
