Pusha T Reveals Kendrick Lamar Wanted Double Duty On Clipse Comeback Album
When you thought The Clipse’s rebirth couldn’t get any more mythical than it already is, Kendrick Lamar makes a guest appearance. Leading up to the highly anticipated “Let God Sort Em Out,” Clipse’s first album in 16 years, Pusha T has been cranking up the anticipation. From pointed lyrical disses at Kanye West and Travis Scott to sensational interviews, the Virginia-bred wordsmith has been orchestrating a masterclass in hype-building.
And just when we thought the rollout couldn’t get even more compelling, Push has played yet another ace. In a new chat with Spotify, premiered by NFR Podcast, Pusha shared that Kendrick Lamar is not just a casual feature guest on the incoming album. The Compton powerhouse was campaigning to be on two records for the project. Although we already know he’s been working on a collab with Beyoncé for “Chains & Whips.” According to Pusha, Kendrick’s curiosity peaked early, amid the creation, a period when Lamar was understandably frantically pursuing engagements from all angles.
Although Push didn’t specify the exact day, he did note that Lamar was “super busy,” which might be a reference to the recent rap civil war with Drake that kept K. Dot at the center of the culture’s crosshairs for months. Kendrick wasn’t able to get into the studio himself, but he had one of his camp members get an exclusive listen to what the Clipse duo was cooking up behind locked doors. And obviously, the heat was plenty to light up some serious FOMO on Kendrick’s end.
Two Lamar verses on “Let God Sort Em Out” would be exhilarating, yet also kind of sad. But that’s also exactly what a single Kendrick feature, particularly on a highly anticipated song like “Chains & Whips,” will do. When combined with razor-sharp bars from Pusha and the exceptionally rare appearance from Malice, this album is knocking at the door of Album of the Year, giving it a push and breaking it down.

Phlo-osophy shares a new single, “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)”
Phlo-osophy’s “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” is a thoughtful and relaxing meditation on intellect and existence, packaged with laid-back production that encourages both thought and comfort. The song starts with atmospheric synths and a low-key beat, creating a space that is the laboratory of contemplation.
Phlo-osophy’s lyrical style steers into tough concepts spontaneous physics of thought, the chemistry of emotion — and yet remains highly accessible. The production is the strength of the production: soft, warm textures, synth pads, muted guitar echoes, quiet electronic pulses, cohere into a hushed, private atmosphere.
The result is a song that teeters between heady curiosity and soulful expression. It’s not out to swamp us with complexity, but to suggest a room in which mind and emotion can cohabitate thoughtfully. “Scientist Mind (Living My Life)” serves as a signal of Phlo-osophy’s approach as an enlightening artist who writes not only with heart, but with mind and who welcomes the listener on its journey of self-discovery.
